title: [Sinus pericranii. A series of 5 cases].
abstract: Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular anomaly in which an abnormal communication exists between the extracranial venous system and the dural venous sinuses. The natural history in most cases consists of a purplish nodule in the frontal region that may gradually increase in size. Different treatment options can be chosen: from observation of the lesion, to endovascular embolization of intracerebral component or a complete resection of both anomalous components (extra- and intra-cranial) by surgery. In this context, potential life-threatening complications including thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage can occur. Here we present our experience in management of sinus pericranii, and emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach of this uncommon entity.
