Three-dimensional printing of a sinus pericranii model: technical note

Alexandre Simonin et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2017 Mar.

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.

Keywords: Sinus pericranii; Three-dimensional printing; Vascular malformation.
