Abstract
INTRODUCTION Crouzon's syndrome and sinus pericranii (SP) are rare entities. Only few cases having both the features are reported. SP most commonly drains in relation to superior sagittal sinus and their communication to major posterior dural sinuses is rare. CASE REPORT We report a rare case of Crouzon's syndrome with SP at a suboccipital location with termination of left transverse sinus into the SP draining further through the extracranial suboccipital and extravertebral cervical venous plexi into external jugular veins. Distal transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus on the left side were absent. CONCLUSION Crouzon's syndrome with SP is an extremely rare entity. SP with communication to major posterior dural venous sinuses is also rare and mostly associated with multi-suture craniosynostosis. Management depends on the volume of venous blood they are draining. Most of them are dominant type and their occlusion is not feasible. Preoperative diagnosis of a dominant SP is essential for proper surgical planning as it needs to be preserved mandatorily to prevent cerebral venous infarction.

Abstract
Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular anomaly characterized by abnormal venous communication between the inner and outer regions of the cranial cavity. Here, we report a case of sinus pericranii and venous malformations in the right periorbital region of a 2-year-old girl. Radiologic findings showed venous malformations in the right parietal region communicating with the superior sagittal sinus in the intracranial region. There were notable improvements following surgical resection for the abnormal venous lesions and several sclerotherapies. Presence of a bluish and pulsating mass on the scalp, which showed bruit on auscultation, may indicate sinus pericranii, which should be included in the differential diagnosis.
