AB  - The magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of the cavernous sinus was studied by correlating the MR images of normal volunteers and cryomicrotomic sections from six cadavers. In addition, MR images of patients with parasellar masses were compared with corresponding intravenously enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scans. The MR appearance of the cranial nerves in the cavernous sinuses is demonstrated, as well as MR signs of a parasellar mass, including obliteration of intracavernous venous spaces, displacement of the intracavernous internal carotid artery, and bulging of the lateral wall of the cavernus sinus. MR proved to be more effective than CT in delineating the parts of the cavernous sinus.
