A member asked:
What sort of issues would a partially fatty lesion in left cavernous sinus cause? could it throw off my equilibrium? what do i do? get it removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See specialist : The cavernous sinus is a small area in the center of your head through which some of the cranial nerves pass. A mass there may or may not cause symptoms. It's best to see a neurosurgeon or a skull base surgeon to decide whether anything needs to be done.
