Hyperostosis frontalis interna and association of disease control with frontal bone thickness in acromegaly
HFI was common in patients with acromegaly. HFI is associated with a continuous increase in FBT, PBT and OBT. HFI, bone thickness, or increase in bone thickness seems independent of disease activity. Since headaches can be related to an increase in bone thickness, patients should be evaluated and graded during baseline imaging.
