Abstract: Sinus pericranii is a small circumscribed fluctuating vascular
swelling of the scalp that directly communicates with the intracranial venous
system. Sinus pericranii is not a single clinicopathologic entity, rather a
symptom complex with diverse clinical manifestations. The exact diagnosis of
sinus pericranii is made by angiography and percutaneous sinusography. We
report an 8-month-old child with sinus pericranii who was diagnosed with a
non-invasive method, magnetic resonance venography.
