Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric frontotemporal pits: report of 2 cases JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY-PEDIATRICS Bliss, M., Grant, G., Tittler, E., Loven, T., Yeom, K. W., Sidell, D. 2016; 18 (4): 471-474

Abstract

In contrast to more common nasal and cervical lesions, the frontotemporal pit is a rarely encountered lesion that is often associated with a dermoid and may track intracranially. Due to delays in diagnosis, the propensity to spread intracranially, and the risk of infection, awareness of these lesions and appropriate diagnosis and management are important. The authors present 2 cases of frontotemporal pits from a single institution. Epidemiology, presentation, and management recommendations are discussed.
