J Neurosurg Pediatr. 2009 Mar;3(3):220-4. doi: 10.3171/2008.10.PEDS08267.

Abstract

Sinus pericranii (SP) is an abnormal communication between the intra- and extracranial venous drainage pathways. Treatment of this condition has mainly been recommended for reasons of cosmesis and prevention of hemorrhage. The authors report a novel endovascular transvenous route for definitive treatment of SP.
