MR findings in extracerebral cavernous angiomas of the middle cranial fossa: report of two cases and review of the literature.
Extracerebral cavernous angioma is a rare entity; only 45 cases have been reported [1-32] . Thirty-seven of the angiomas, including the two cases reported here, were found in the parasellar region of the middle cranial fossa [1-26] . Differentiation from parasellar meningioma is known to be difficult, since the CT findings are similar. We report the MR findings in two cases of extracerebral cav...
متن کاملCoincident Giant Cavernous Angioma and Large Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm
Cavernous angiomas although relatively common lesions rarely reach a large size. They have a well documented association with AVMs, capillary telangiectases and venous angiomas but are not specifically associated with intracerebral aneurysms. We present a case of what we believe to be the 4th largest reported giant cavernous angioma to present in adulthood. This cavernous angioma also happened ...

متن کاملEndoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Middle Cranial Fossa through the Cavernous Sinus Triangles: Anatomical Considerations
The lateral limit of endoscopic endonasal surgery has yet to be defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the lateral limit of endoscopic endonasal surgery at the level of the sphenoid sinus. Access from the sphenoid sinus to the middle cranial fossa through the cavernous sinus triangles was evaluated by cadaver dissection. Anatomical analysis demonstrated that the medial temporal dura ...
