Description

<p>Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is characterized by the bilateral thickening of the frontal bone of the skull. Although most patients with HFI show no clinical symptoms, a few have been reported to show diverse and non-specific symptoms, including－but not limited to－cognitive decline, epileptic seizure, and endocrine disorder.

HFI was therefore suggested to be one of the causes of frontal lobe dysfunction.</p>
