| Abstract |
Hodgkin's disease has not been reported to produce an isolated cavernous sinus syndrome, although this phenomenon is well-described in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We review the 16 cases of cavernous sinus syndrome caused by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and report two patients with Hodgkin's disease in clinical remission who developed recurrent disease in the cavernous sinus. MRI revealed a mass lesion in the left cavernous sinus in each patient. Corticosteroids and radiation therapy were effective palliative measures. In both patients, recurrence in the cavernous sinus preceded other systemic evidence of recurrent Hodgkin's disease. |
