reasons and prevention of bleeding.Signs and symptoms
Sinus pericranii typically presents as soft palpable masses along the midline skull, which may fluctuate in size depending on body positioning.[2]
Cause
The nature of this malformation remains unclear. Congenital, spontaneous, and acquired origins are accepted. No evidence of associated anomalies, such as cerebral venous malformations, systemic angiomas, venous angioma dural malformations, internal cerebral vein aneurysms, and cavernous hemangiomas support the hypothesis of a spontaneous origin in the current case of SP.
Mechanism
Sinus
varicosities are intimately associated with the periosteum, are distensible, and vary in size when changes in intracranial pressure
occur.
Treatment
The
endovascular technique has been described by a transvenous approach combined with a direct puncture and the recent endovascular embolization with Onyx.[3]
