CT-demonstration of adipose tissue of the sinus cavernosus
Description
Adipose bodies of the sinus cavernosus - the only genuine intracranial adipose tissue - can be demonstrated well by CT. They appear as polymorph well defined hypodense objects in unilateral or bilateral manifestation. Adipose bodies most frequently show a size between 4 and 9 mm and densities about -20 to -40 HE. Occasionally the adipose bodies directly lead into the adipose tissue of the orbit. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Die Fettkoerper des Sinus cavernosus sind das einzige natuerliche intrakranielle Fettgewebe. Computertomographisch lassen sie sich gut nachweisen und erscheinen als polymorphe, scharf begrenzte hypodense Gebilde mit unilateralem oder bilateralem Auftreten. Am haeufigsten sahen wir Fettkoerper zwischen 4 und 9 mm Groesse mit Dichtewerten um minus 20 bis minus 40 HE. Gelegentlich gehen die Fettkoerper direkt in das Orbitafett ueber.
