What is the hyperostosis frontalis internal?

Hyperostosis Frontalis Internal is a health condition characterized by the inner side of the skull of the front bone. The condition is not clinically significant in that the growth of bone is not malignant. The patient can often go through his whole life, nor did he know about it. This bone overgrowth is much more common in women than in men. It also seems that it is also significantly predominant in older women approaching menopause.

The thickened bone, while always affecting the frontal bones, it may sometimes include parietal bones of the skull. The thickened area is usually bilateral and symmetrical. It can be either focal, affecting only a certain part, or diffuse, affecting a large part, not if all, bones. The overgrown portions themselves can be somewhat flat and even, or they may have nodular appearance.

The symptoms of this condition are quite general in the sense that they can also occur with a number of other conditions. Can disappear headache, mental damage and depression. Weakness, obesity and fatigue are also common as well as palsy of vertiGo and faces.

Since these symptoms are somewhat generalized, differential diagnosis must be made. Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia and acromegaly are all conditions with similar symptoms. The only diagnostic tool in determining the presence of internal hyperostosis frontalis is through an X -ray image that clearly shows reinforced bones. The disease is often found when the patient is treated for another condition. For this reason, it is not clear how many people actually suffer from this bone overgrowth.

Hyperostosis Frontalis Internal can in some cases be part of a more complex syndrome. This condition is called morgani syndrome, it is an endocrine pathology where the internal hyperostosis of frontalis occurs in conjunction with diabetes and hyperparathyroidism. Symptoms of this condition include hirsutism, Menstralian problems and seizures.

The cause of hyperostosis frontalis internal is not fromus; However, as it seems that most of the older women who are close to menopause may be influenced by hormones, namely estrogen. Since the bone thickening is benign and is not harmful to the patient, the internal hyperostosis of the frontalis does not occur. Rather, symptoms are considered a separate problem and adequately treated. This phenomenon is not a threatening life and people who suffer lead normal lives with the same life expectancy as people without a state.
