Skull Base, Bone, Pituitary-Regions around Orbit that Affect Vision

This article provides an imaging-focused overview of conditions affecting vision that localize to the central skull base. Both neoplastic and nonneoplastic processes may arise from the sphenoid bone, sella turcica, and adjacent structures, with potential involvement of critical neurovascular pathways. Because clinical presentations in this region often overlap, identifying distinguishing features on computed tomography and MR imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis. The discussion highlights key imaging findings of pathology affecting visual function arising within and around the central skull base.
