Abstract:
Six patients with lesions involving the foramen ovale are presented and analyzed. Anatomy, pathology and imaging of diseases occurring in the vicinity of the foramen ovale are reviewed. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complimentary in the evaluation of pathology in this region. CT is better able to evaluate bony detail while MR imaging is useful in detailing the anatomical extent and tissue characteristics.
