Lymphoma with bilateral cavernous sinus involvement in early childhood.
A 4-year-old girl developed complete ophthalmoplegia with intact pupillary responses. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass invading the cavernous and sphenoid sinuses and posterior ethmoidal cells. Biopsy revealed non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This patient is the youngest reported with malignant lymphoma of the cavernous sinus and the second reported with bilateral cavernous sinus involvement.
