Imaging spectrum of posterior fossa anomalies on foetal magnetic resonance imaging with an algorithmic approach to diagnosis.

Posterior fossa abnormalities are one of the most common indications for performing foetal magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). Ultrasonography is the initial imaging modality for assessment of foetal posterior fossa. Abnormal findings on ultrasonography warrant further evaluation with FMRI because it offers excellent soft-tissue contrast resolution and multiplanar capabilities.

Imaging Spectrum of Cavernous Sinus Lesions with Histopathologic Correlation.

Cavernous sinuses are paired interconnected venous plexuses situated in the floor of the middle cranial fossa on either side of the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus. They are lined by dura mater and consist of multiple venous channels within. The cavernous sinuses are intimately related to the internal carotid artery and its associated sympathetic plexus, the oculomotor nerve, the trochlear nerve, the abducens nerve, and the ophthalmic nerve.
