| الوصف: | Inferior intercavernous sinus (iICS) is a venous channel below the pituitary gland. Inferior intercavernous sinus injury is predisposed to cause venous bleeding during dura incision in transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas. Therefore, this study aimed to perform a radiological assessment of iICS before transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary microadenoma.A retrospective evaluation was performed on 156 patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging examinations in our hospital before endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary microadenoma. Both sagittal reformatted and coronal contrast-enhanced (CE) sampling perfection with application optimized contrast using different flip angle evolutions (SPACE) images were interpreted for the presence, shape, and size of the iICS.In CE SPACE, the iICS was identified in 72 patients (46.15%) with pituitary microadenoma. The iICS was appeared as a filiform-shaped hyperintense structure below the pituitary gland on coronal CE SPACE planes and a crescent-shaped hyperintense structure on sagittal CE SPACE planes. The mean ± SD width, depth, and height of iICS were 11.15 ± 3.47 mm, 5.29 ± 1.24 mm, and 1.41 ± 0.19 mm, respectively.Contrast-enhanced SPACE may serve as a promising technique in evaluating iICS and individualized preoperative planning before transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary microadenoma. |
