Sixth nerve neuroma in the cavernous sinus: CT features

M L Hansman et al. J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1986 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

A sixth nerve neuroma arising within the cavernous sinus is reported. This is the third sixth nerve neuroma cited in the world literature and the first to have CT demonstration. The unusual CT enhancement characteristics excluded the more common cavernous sinus masses and suggested the correct diagnosis preoperatively.
