Coronal T2
MRI was done with and without contrast agent. There was a 9 x 4 mm isointense lesion inside the left cavernous sinus, partially encasing the left internal carotid artery. The cavernous sinus on the left side was enlarged and the lesion showed mild contrast enhancement.
Case Discussion
MR angiography was also done to rule out aneurysm. Thus the clinical diagnosis of Tolosa Hunt syndrome was confirmed. After steroid treatment, the patient showed dramatic improvement.
