Lymphoma with bilateral cavernous sinus involvement in early childhood

Pediatr Neurol. 1994 Feb;10(1):67-9. doi: 10.1016/0887-8994(94)90071-x.

Abstract

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.
