The clivus is a midline anatomical structure in the central skull base. It is affected by a wide range of non-neoplastic, benign and malignant pathologies, some of which typically affect the clivus because of its strategic location and embryological origins. Clival lesions may often be asymptomatic with occasional complaints like headache or cranial neuropathy in few. Cross-sectional imaging techniques, namely, computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging, thus, play a key role in approximating to the final diagnosis and estimating the disease extent. In this article, we highlight the important imaging features of various clival and paraclival pathologies to facilitate effective diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and management.
斜坡是颅底中央的一个中线解剖结构。它会受到多种非肿瘤性、良性和恶性病变的影响，其中一些病变由于其特殊的位置和胚胎起源而通常会累及斜坡。斜坡病变通常可能无症状，少数情况下会偶尔出现头痛或颅神经病变等症状。因此，横断面成像技术，即计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像，在接近最终诊断和评估疾病范围方面起着关键作用。在本文中，我们重点介绍各种斜坡及斜坡旁病变的重要影像学特征，以促进有效的诊断、治疗计划制定和管理。
