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. TECHNICAL NOTE: 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.Entities:
