Our aim was to review the imaging findings of relatively common lesions involving the
cavernous sinus (CS), such as neoplastic, inflammatory, and vascular ones. The most …

This educational paper reviews the normal anatomy of the cavernous sinus (CS) and the
imaging findings of common and uncommon lesions of this region. CS lesions may arise …

Evaluation of over 255 patients with sellar and parasellar lesions allowed study of the
computed tomographic (CT) appearance of the cavernous sinus. Optimal visualization of the …

Cavernous sinuses are paired interconnected venous plexuses situated in the floor of the
middle cranial fossa on either side of the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus. They are lined by …

Twenty-one patients with enlargement of the cavernous sinus were studied with CT and MR
imaging. Eighteen of the patients also had cerebral angiography. MR was superior to CT in …

The cavernous sinus is a complex structure susceptible to a wide variety of vascular,
neoplastic and inflammatory pathologies. Vascular pathologies include ICA aneurysms …

The magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of the cavernous sinus was studied by
correlating the MR images of normal volunteers and cryomicrotomic sections from six …

Objective: To analyze extracerebral cavernous malformation located in the cavernous sinus
and correlate their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features to pathological findings …

Objective: To characterize lesions causing cavernous sinus syndrome. Design: Review of 26
years of personal experience in a large city hospital. Results: Among 151 patients, tumors …
