Article Abstract
We present a case of cystic cavernous angioma in an 18-year-old woman with the chief complaint of acute onset of seizures. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a tumor with a slightly enhanced solid calcified portion and a large cystic portion. The patient was well without recurrence 6 months after surgery. The importance of MR imaging in the differential diagnoses is emphasized.

Purpose: Adrenal vascular tumors are mainly represented by adrenal cavernous hemangiomas (ACHs) and adrenal cystic lymphangiomas (ACLs). Their radiological features often overlap with malignant tumors, therefore ruling out malignancy becomes mandatory. We analyzed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data to identify specific characteristics of these tumors.

Biliary and peribiliary cystic lesions represent a diverse group of abnormalities, often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. These lesions, typically asymptomatic, necessitate precise imaging modalities to characterize their nature and determine subsequent clinical actions, such as follow-up imaging, biopsy, or surgical referral. The anatomic location of these cystic lesions, whether biliary or peribiliary, influences both diagnostic and prognostic outcomes.

Cavitary sarcoidosis is a rare form and represents non-caseating granulomatous diseases of the lungs exhibiting a narrow range of differential diagnoses. The peculiarity of this case lies in the difficulty of distinguishing atypical manifestations of pulmonary sarcoidosis, such as cystic lesions, from cavernous tuberculosis. Both possess similar clinical and radiological features.

Objective: The endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) has emerged as a promising minimally invasive technique for resection of lesions in the mediobasal temporal region (MTR) due to its potential to preserve the integrity of the optic radiation (OR). This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ETOA using an OR-sparing surgical strategy for mediobasal temporal lesions.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of 15 patients (7 females and 8 males) who underwent ETOA for lesions in the MTR between November 2017 and November 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The skull base and orbit host complex anatomical structures where various tumors, often presenting neurological symptoms, can be difficult to diagnose clinically due to accessibility challenges.
- Diagnostic imaging is essential for assessing these tumors, as it assists in determining the site of origin which is critical for narrowing down potential diagnoses.
- Specific tumors have defined locations and distinct imaging features; for example, chordomas and chondrosarcomas show high signal intensities on T2-weighted images, while paragangliomas are highly vascular, and certain orbital tumors exhibit unique dynamic patterns.
