title: Pontine glioma extending to the ipsilateral cavernous sinus and Meckel's cave: MR appearance.
abstract: The authors describe an exophytic glioma of the pons that grew into the Meckel's cave and cavernous sinus in a 75-year-old man. Pontine gliomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of a hyperintense, complex cystic mass seen along the distribution of cranial nerve V.
