Description
Summary:Sinus pericranii (SP) located in the superior eyelid is an unusual clinical presentation. Here, we report a case of 72-year-old woman with an unruptured cerebral aneurysm presented with an SP located in the left superior eyelid. The SP was found to have a dominant venous outflow from the bilateral frontal region with an arterialized blood flow pattern on color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS). During the aneurysmal surgery, intraoperative monitoring of the dominant venous outflow with CDUS was useful for the prevention of venous outflow obstruction. Physicians should carefully consider intracranial vascular anomalies in the differential diagnosis of vascular lesions of the superior eyelid.
