Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Different clival lesions have been reported in the literature previously. The lymphangioma reported in the present case seems to be the first lesion localized in the clivus. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The patient presented with a history of diplopia and headache. Imaging studies showed a lytic lesion at the cranial base. INTERVENTION: Transsphenoidal excision of the lesion resulted in total resolution of the patient's complaints. CONCLUSION: Lymphangioma must be kept in mind for the differential diagnosis of lytic lesions of the cranial base. Surgical removal leads to immediate improvement of the symptoms.
