Cavernous sinus involvement in recurrent Nelson's syndrome.
Nelson's syndrome is rare and difficult to cure. The tumours in this condition may behave invasively and require multiple interventions. Two patients who had been followed up for nearly 20 years developed signs of cavernous sinus involvement, one with an empty sella. Long term follow-up for such patients is emphasized.
