- Abstract
Cirsoid aneurysms are rare arteriovenous malformations of the scalp, which are usually of congenital etiology. We describe the case of a young Sri Lankan farmer who presented with a progressively enlarging scalp mass of interesting character, yielding unique images on plain radiography before more advanced imaging and subsequent definitive treatment were performed. The utility of this simple imaging technique in underdeveloped settings is highlighted, and further diagnostic and treatment options are discussed in brief.
