The authors present a rare entity, an intrasellar cavernous hemangioma that on neuroimages mimicked a nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma in a patient with a known orbital hemangioma. Such lesions can grow extraaxially within the dural sinuses, particularly the cavernous sinus, and present like tumors. A better understanding of the neuroimaging. clinical, and anatomical features of these lesions may prevent difficulties in management.
作者报告了一种罕见病例,一名患有眼眶血管瘤的患者,其鞍内海绵状血管瘤在神经影像上酷似无功能垂体大腺瘤。此类病变可在硬脑膜窦内,尤其是海绵窦内呈轴外生长,并表现为肿瘤。更好地了解这些病变的神经影像、临床及解剖特征,可能有助于避免管理上的困难。
