Sinus pericranii: CT and color doppler ultrasound imaging findings in a case of spontaneous thrombosis

Abstract

Sinus pericranii (SP) is an unusual venous anomaly characterized by communication of pericranial varicosities with an underlying dural sinus. We report a case of spontaneous thrombosis of sinus pericranii presenting as focally tender, nonreducible mass lesion different in character from the baseline venous abnormality. CT and colour Doppler Imaging were performed.

Sinus perikranii (SP) derindeki dural sinus ile ilişkili perikranyal variköz bağlantılarla karekterize nadir bir venöz anomalidir. Biz, asıl venöz anomaliden farklı karekterde olmarak hassas, sert bir kitle olarak ortaya çıkan bir spontan tromboze SP olgusunun Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve renkli Doppler inceleme bulgularını sunuyoruz.
