Sinus pericranii: diagnosis and management in 21 pediatric patients

Abstract

Accepted guidelines or recommendations concerning the management, diagnosis, and treatment of SP are still lacking. The authors define here a diagnostic-therapeutic flow chart, in which angiography plays a crucial role in the classification of SP and choice of the optimal treatment. Only accessory SP is amenable to treatment, whereas dominant SP must be preserved. The endovascular approach is becoming increasingly relevant and has proven to be safe and effective.
