Cavernous sinus subarachnoid diverticulum and sixth nerve palsy.

T Kobayashi, M Negoro, S Awaya

    Neuroradiology
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare cavernous sinus subarachnoid diverticulum was found using Metrizamide CT cisternography in a patient with chronic sixth nerve palsy. This finding may explain the cause of her long-standing eye movement disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Neuroanatomy

    Background:

    • Sixth nerve palsy, or abducens nerve palsy, affects eye movement control.
    • Chronic cases require advanced imaging to identify underlying causes.
    • Cavernous sinus and cerebellopontine cistern anatomy are critical for neuro-ophthalmic function.

    Observation:

    • Metrizamide CT cisternography was performed in a young woman with persistent sixth nerve palsy.
    • The imaging revealed a subarachnoid diverticulum extending from the cerebellopontine cistern into the cavernous sinus.

    Findings:

    • A direct anatomical connection was identified between the cerebellopontine cistern and the cavernous sinus via a diverticulum.
    • This diverticulum represents an unusual anatomical variation.
    • The presence of the diverticulum was correlated with the patient's chronic sixth nerve palsy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential, previously unrecognized cause of sixth nerve palsy.
    • Subarachnoid diverticula in this region may exert mass effect or alter cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, impacting cranial nerve function.
    • Advanced imaging techniques like CT cisternography are valuable for diagnosing rare neurological conditions.
