SUMMARY – Extra-axial
cavernous
sinus
hemangiomas
are
rare
and
account
for
less
than
1%
of
parasellar
tumors.
These
lesions
have
characteristic
radiological
features
but
the
differential
diagnosis
from
parasellar
meningiomas
and
schwannomas
can
be
difficult.
Preoperative
diagnosis
is
important
due
to
the
risk
of
severe
intraoperative
bleeding
and
the
complex
neurovascular
structures
of
the
cavernous
sinus.
We
describe
two
cases
of
cavernous
sinus
hemangiomas
and
review
the
imaging
findings
of
these
lesions.
