Cavernous Sinus Syndrome
Cavernous sinus syndrome involves dysfunction of structures that course along with the cavernous sinus at the base of the skull. Cavernous sinus syndrome can include internal and external ophthalmoplegia (CNN III, IV, VI) and varying CN V deficits (ophthalmic and maxillary branches). The sympathetic innervation to the eye courses near the sinus so Horner’s signs can also sometimes be seen.
