A partially ossified falx cerebri.

During a routine faculty prosection of the head and neck region of an adult female cadaver, a partial ossification of the falx cerebri was found. Ossification of other dural areas or regions of the body were not found. In addition, the brain and remaining organs appeared to be grossly normal. Reports of partial ossification of the falx cerebri are still rare and while certain pathologies such as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome typically present with ossification of the falx on radiographs, the causal relationship of such an abnormality remains unclear.
