This enters the sella and compresses the pituitary stalk, pituitary gland. Extension within the right cavernous sinus and abutment of the right clinoid/supraclinoid internal…

  • Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) / Pseudotumor Cerebri

    FindingsMRI brain: These images demonstrate a partially empty sella. There is dilatation of the optic nerve sheath complex bilaterally with imaging findings suggestive of mild papilledema. There is dilatation of the Meckel’s cave region dural enlargement. No focal masses are seen in the brain. There are punctate areas of high…

  • Neurofibromatosis type 1 associated with optic nerve glioma

    Findings: Brain: Sagittal T1-weighted images demonstrate corpus callosum to be intact. No evidence of Chiari malformation. No abnormal pineal region masses. Pituitary gland is not enlarged. Diffusion imaging demonstrates no evidence of recent infarct. Gradient-echo imaging shows no evidence of hemosiderin staining. Axial FLAIR and T2-weighted images demonstrate ill-defined areas…
