Occipital dermal sinuses (ODSs) are congenital lesions located in the midline and characterized by a cutaneous pit or dimple. The intracranial extension as well as the associated symptoms are variable. To date, a familial occurrence of these lesions has not been reported. In this paper the authors report on a 2-year-old boy with an ODS and intracranial hypertension. The boy's mother had a similar lesion but did not have any complaints. Following their experience with this case and a literature review, the authors suggest that there may be a genetic basis in certain instances of ODS.
枕部皮样窦(ODS)是位于中线的先天性病变,其特征为皮肤凹陷或小窝。颅内扩展情况以及相关症状各不相同。迄今为止,尚未有这些病变家族性发病的报道。在本文中,作者报告了一名患有ODS和颅内高压的2岁男孩。该男孩的母亲有类似病变,但没有任何不适症状。基于他们对该病例的经验以及文献回顾,作者认为在某些ODS病例中可能存在遗传基础。
