The magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of the cavernous sinus was studied by correlating the MR images of normal volunteers and cryomicrotomic sections from six cadavers. In addition, MR images of patients with parasellar masses were compared with corresponding intravenously enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scans. The MR appearance of the cranial nerves in the cavernous sinuses is demonstrated, as well as MR signs of a parasellar mass, including obliteration of intracavernous venous spaces…

MR imaging of the cavernous sinus: value of spin echo and gradient recalled echo images.
TLDR
Correlation of coronal T1-weighted spin echo and gradient recalled echo images proved to be an effective means of identifying cavernous venous spaces, connective tissue and cranial nerves, and the lateral margins of the pituitary gland, and of differentiating tumor tissue from cavernous Venous spaces.
Comparison of MR imaging, CT, and angiography in the evaluation of the enlarged cavernous sinus.
TLDR
It is concluded that MR should be the initial diagnostic study in patients with symptoms of a parasellar mass, with supplementation when necessary by CT and angiography.

TLDR
The enlarged cavernous sinus and associated ophthalmic plexus were believed to represent an arterialized aneurysm, most likely the result of traumatic arteriovenous fistulization, and treatment consisted of surgical enucleation.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the jugular foramen.
TLDR
MR demonstrates the anatomic relations of the jugular foramen (except its osseous margins) such that its primary use in evaluating this region can be anticipated.
Anatomy of the orbital apex and cavernous sinus on high-resolution magnetic resonance images.
MR imaging of cavernous sinus involvement by pituitary adenomas.
TLDR
The ability of high-resolution MR imaging to detect invasion of the cavernous sinuses by pituitary adenoma was determined through a retrospective review of 74 patients, and no feature permitted certain distinction between invasive and noninvasive microadenomas.
Radiological and anatomical evaluation of the cranial nerves running lateral wall of the cavernous sinus
TLDR
To know the anatomy of the cavernous sinus’s related structures will provide a great benefit in minimizing the rate of complications which may occur during the resection of tumors of the basement sinus and the hypophysis, or other surgical procedures at this region.
Magnetic resonance imaging in chronic cavernous sinus thrombosis
TLDR
Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in a female patient with a chronic septic form of cavernous sinus thrombosis who developed diplopia, headache, and high fever one month after paranasal sinus surgery, and showed a decreased size of the thrombus in the right cavernous Sinus.
Metastatic Disease of the Cavernous Sinus: Contribution of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Diagnosis
TLDR
It was found that magnetic resonance imaging is superior to CT scan in demonstrating the cavernous sinus and pontine borders, especially in lymphomatous involvement of these structures.
Magnetic resonance imaging of intracavernous pathology.
To evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of intracavernous pathology, T1-weighted spin echo images of four vascular lesions and 10 neoplastic lesions with surgically confirmed…
