'Sinus pericranii' is an abnormal communication between the extracranial veins and the dural venous sinuses (usually the superior sagittal and the transverse sinuses). It is a rare childhood abnormality. We report a case of a 6-month-old boy presenting with a scalp swelling in the left parietal region. Ultrasound with color Doppler and MRI showed a dilated epicranial vein that communicated with the superior sagittal sinus. This anomalous venous connection is known as sinus pericranii. We describe the imaging findings, associated abnormalities and management of this rare vascular abnormality.
颅骨膜窦是颅外静脉与硬脑膜静脉窦（通常是上矢状窦和横窦）之间的异常交通。它是一种罕见的儿童期异常。我们报告一例6个月大男孩，其左顶叶区域出现头皮肿胀。彩色多普勒超声和磁共振成像显示一条扩张的头皮静脉与上矢状窦相通。这种异常的静脉连接被称为颅骨膜窦。我们描述了这种罕见血管异常的影像学表现、相关异常及治疗方法。
