  • Title: Evaluation of the suprasellar cistern by computed tomography.
    Author: Dutton JJ, Klingele TG, Burde RM, Gado M.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1982 Nov; 89(11):1220-5. PubMed ID: 7155531.
    Abstract:
    The normal suprasellar cistern is a five- or six-pointed, starshaped, fluid-filled structure as demonstrated by computerized axial tomography (CAT). At various levels the normal suprasellar cistern contains the major intracranial vessels and their anastomotic channels, the optic nerves, chiasm, and infundibular stalk. The existence of lesions, either intrinsic structures of or extrinsic structures contiguous to the suprasellar cistern can be detected by their effect on the normal anatomy of the suprasellar cistern or by filling defects produced when studied with metrizamide cisternography.
