Abstract
Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HOFI) is characterized by the benign growth of the inner plate of the frontal bone. It is most common in older women. Etiology is unknown. Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome(MSM) is characterized by HOFI, obesity, hirsutism and mental illnesses but these associations are mostly based only on case reports. MSM syndrome is misunderstood and less reported pathology. The clinical presentation is not well defined andits finding is usually coincidental. The patient may present variable symptomatology. The idea that we should keep in mind is that HOFI representthe main pattern of MSM. Thus, it is highly importantto specify the presence and degree of HOFI in radiological reports.
