title: Three-dimensional printing of a sinus pericranii model: technical note.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Sinus pericranii (SP) is a rare venous malformation consisting of a single or multiple abnormal emissary veins communicating between intracranial sinuses and dilated epicranial veins. There is no consensus concerning diagnosis, management, and treatment of SP.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a 4-month-old infant with a SP for whom we used a three-dimensional printed model in order to define the angioarchitecture, improve management, and help parents' understanding of this uncommon condition.
