Mucocele of the anterior clinoid process: CT and MR findings.
A patient with biopsy-proven primary mucocele of the anterior clinoid process is presented. Gadolinium-DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a nonenhancing lesion isointense to gray matter. Computed tomography revealed well corticated bony margins without direct involvement of the sphenoid sinus.
