The ability of high-resolution MR imaging (1.5 T) to detect invasion of the cavernous sinuses
by pituitary adenoma was determined through a retrospective review of 74 patients. These …

One hundred ninety-eight surgically explored pituitary adenomas were evaluated
preoperatively by high-resolution computed tomography (CT). At surgery, evidence of direct …

PURPOSE: To define magnetic resonance (MR) imaging criteria for the diagnosis of
cavernous sinus invasion by pituitary adenoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The MR …

We compared MRI studies of the sellar area and embryological and adult histological
studies of the cavernous sinuses and pituitary fossa. MRI studies were performed in 50 …

A detailed evaluation of the MR appearance of the pituitary gland-cavernous sinus junction
has not been described. In a series of coronal T1-weighted spin echo images without and …

Pituitary adenomas with extension into the parasellar space, the so called “cavernous sinus”
can be demonstrated best using MRI. To improve the delineation from the venous …

WE PRESENT 25 pituitary adenomas that were confirmed surgically to have invaded the
cavernous sinus space. The surgical results are compared with the preoperative magnetic …

BACKGROUND: This study used high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (1.5 T)
to define and evaluate preoperative imaging criteria for cavernous sinus invasion (CSI) by …

This study used MRI to define preoperative imaging criteria for cavernous sinus invasion
(CSI) by pituitary adenoma (PA). MR images of 103 patients with PA submitted to surgery …
