Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular malformation in which the extracranial veins are connected to the intracranial venous circulation. It typically appears as a soft mass with a blue hue on the scalp. We describe a patient with sinus pericranii and associated hair collar sign.

Sinus pericranii is a rare venous anomaly characterized by abnormal communication between intracranial and subperiosteal veins, and reports of trauma-induced sinus pericranii are even rarer. Herein, we report a case of delayed-onset sinus pericranii resulting from a traumatic injury to the left side of the midline of the forehead sustained in early childhood. The anomaly was successfully resected via a coronal incision within the hairline, followed by meticulous bone wax sealing.

Background: Giant non-traumatic and non-iatrogenic cranial vault defects are poorly studied due to their rarity. Therefore, diagnosis and analysis of their causes are difficult. In available literature, we found only 4 cases of giant pericranial sinus accompanied by extensive cranial vault defects.

A 17-year-old girl with a congenital, painless right forehead swelling obstructing her visual field was diagnosed with sinus pericranii. Radiological imaging confirmed extracalvarial arteriovenous malformation with serpentine vessels and bony erosion. Endovascular surgery was chosen for management, highlighting the necessity of considering SP in differential diagnosis for scalp swellings.

Article Synopsis
  • Cranial ultrasound is a reliable method to diagnose various brain disorders in newborns, and adding Doppler imaging enhances diagnostic capabilities by showing blood vessel status and blood flow.
  • Doppler imaging can identify serious vascular issues in newborns, such as perinatal stroke and various malformations, which may require additional imaging techniques for thorough evaluation.
  • The review aims to improve clinicians' skills in Doppler sonography, enabling better diagnosis and management for neonates with neurological symptoms or suspected vascular problems in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Prompt medical attention is crucial for congenital intracranial vascular malformations in children and newborns due to potential severe outcomes. Imaging is pivotal for accurate identification, given the diverse risks and treatment strategies. This article aims to enhance the identification and understanding of congenital intracranial vascular abnormalities including arteriovenous malformation, arteriovenous fistula, cavernous malformation, capillary telangiectasia, developmental venous anomaly, and sinus pericranii in pediatric patients.
