Abstract

Based upon our experiences with 7 cases and a literature review a survey is provided on the possibilities and limitations of preoperative diagnosis of space-occupying lesions of the cavernous sinus using MRI with Gd-DTPA enhancement. Advantages are, that in many cases arteriography is no longer necessary, and that the diagnostic sensitivity is higher as compared with CT. The pattern of enhancement does not allow for histological distinction among the various lesions.
