Abstract

We report two patients with persistent falcine vein associated with atretic parietal cephaloceles. Two children, aged two and eight months, were admitted to our department for MRI examination of the brain because of palpable parietal subscalp lesions. MRI study of the brain and MR-venography revealed a falcine sinus joining the superior sagittal sinus in a vertical position. The straight sinus was absent in its normal position. The parietal subscalp lesions were cyst-like formations under the skin associated with a small calvarial defect. The lesions were assumed to be atretic cephaloceles.
