title: Parasellar and optic nerve lesions: the neurosurgeon's perspective.
abstract: For neuroradiologic evaluation of parasellar lesions, a wide array of examinations may be utilized. CT and MRI are used in the assessment of these lesions to establish the diagnosis and to assist the neurosurgeon in defining the precise location. Careful neuroradiologic assessment and close cooperation between the neurosurgeon and the neuroradiologist have much bearing on the surgical planning and eventual outcome of the patient.
