A case of coexisting hyperostosis frontalis interna and biparietal bone thinning

Abstract

Incidental pathology of the skull is frequently detected on cross sectional imaging of the brain. In contrast to the common finding of hyperostosis frontalis interna, biparietal bone thinning is less common. A case of an 87-year-old woman showing coexistence of hyperostosis frontalis interna and biparietal bone thinning is presented. This coexistence has not been reported previously.
