The teaching points of this exhibit are: The functional and imaging anatomy of cavernous sinus and its tributaries The angiographic findings of vascular lesions involving cavernous sinus The endovascular treatments for vascular lesions involving cavernous sinus and its tributaries

 Contents A. Functional anatomy of cavernous sinus (CS) and its tributaries including superficial middle cerebral vein, uncal vein and prepontine bridging vein Normal anatomy and variations Embryology in reference to the anatomical variations B. Imaging appearance of CS and its tributaries in normal and pathologic conditions Normal anigoarchitectures and variations in CT, MRI and angiography Imaging findings of pathological conditions C. Endovascular treatment Endovascular treatment for CS dural arteriovenous fistula or other arteriovenous fistula involving the tributaries of CS with ficusing on the angioarchitectures  Outline   The knowledge and assessment of drainage patterns of CS and its tributaries, which have a variety of variations, is important for endovascular treatment as well as the surgery. The purpose of this exhibit is to demonstrate the functional and imaging anatomy, and endovascular treatment for vascular lesions in CS and its tributaries.
