Computed tomography and angiography in the diagnosis of suprasellar mass lesions

Am J Ophthalmol. 1980 Feb;89(2):278-83. doi: 10.1016/0002-9394(80)90125-7.

Abstract

We studied four cases in which the differentiation between a noncalcified suprasellar aneurysm and tuberculum meningioma, and a calcified suprasellar aneurysm and craniopharyngioma, could not be established by computed tomography scan alone. Cerebral angiography clearly showed both aneurysms.
