Large sellar/suprasellar mass with intrinsic high T1 signal, cystic signal change and post contrast enhancement is present extending into both cavernous sinuses. An extra-axial CSF space in the left middle cranial fossa presumably represents an arachnoid cyst although it has been incompletely visualized. No evidence of prior surgery or gliosis.
Case Discussion
The patient went on to have a debulking incomplete resection.
