Enlarged parietal foramina: MR imaging features in the fetus and neonate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enlarged parietal foramina are believed to be benign and familial and due to a variable degree of defective intramembranous ossification of the parietal bones. We report 2 patients with this condition in whom fetal and neonatal MR imaging studies illustrate the antenatal and perinatal evolution of this condition and the associated persistence of a falcine sinus. We discuss its relationship to the spectrum of cephalocoeles.

Prominent basal emissary foramina in syndromic craniosynostosis: correlation with phenotypic and molecular diagnoses.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Jugular foraminal stenosis (JFS) or atresia (JFA) with collateral emissary veins (EV) has been documented in syndromic craniosynostosis. Disruption of EV during surgery can produce massive hemorrhage. Our purpose was to describe the prevalence of prominent basal emissary foramina (EF), which transmit enlarged EV, in syndromic craniosynostosis. Our findings were correlated...
متن کاملEnlarged parietal foramina presenting as scalp swelling in an infant.
"Enlarged parietal foramina" is a congenital malformation with autosomal dominant inheritance. The condition is usually self-limiting and doesn't require any treatment. However, it may also be associated with encephalocele, vascular anomalies or may be a part of syndrome. We present a case of enlarged parietal foramina in a child and discuss its imaging findings and the associated intracranial ...

Background: The sutural bones and fontanelle of the skull display unique morphological characters. Sutural bones are also called supernumerary bones or ossicles or Wormian bones (WB). These are irregular and develop from the independent ossification centers present along the cranial sutures. They appear on periosteal and endosteal surfaces of the skull with variations in size, number, shape, an...
متن کاملMalformation of cortical and vascular development in one family with parietal foramina determined by an ALX4 homeobox gene mutation.
Vascular and cortical anomalies have been found in a family with parietal foramina type 2 (PFM2), which is determined by the ALX4 gene. It is believed that ALX4 has a bone-restricted expression. We report a case of PFM with age-related size variation in a 4-year-old boy, as well as in his mother, aunt and grandfather. MR imaging of the child demonstrates prominent malformations of cortical (pol...
متن کاملMultiple occipital, parietal, temporal, and frontal foramina: a variant of enlarged parietal foramina in an infant.
BACKGROUND Calvarial lesions are often detected incidentally in routine radiology. Most lytic lesions of the skull are benign. Enlarged parietal foramina are benign lesions caused by deficient intramembranous ossification. CASE REPORT An 11 month-old female patient was admitted with a mass on the right of the back of the head. Physical examination showed a soft 5 cm mass area with no palpable...
