| Ancillary Testing | | Computed tomography (CT) of the head and orbits revealed a frontal mass extending into the planum sphenoidale and the pituitary fossa with the appearance of a large anterior cranial fossa floor meningioma (Figure 3). No abnormality was seen in the globes, optic nerves, extraocular muscles, or any intraconal structure in either orbit (Figure 4). | |
