Abstract：Cavernous sinus cavernous hemangiomas(CSHs)are clinically rare,representing a type of extra-axial cav-ernous hemangioma.Their primary manifestations are mass effects,such as headache,dizziness,epilepsy,endocrine disorders,visual acuity and field impairments,ptosis,restricted eye movement,and facial paresthesia.Because their clinical symptoms re-semble those of other lesions in the cavernous sinus region,clinical diagnosis is challenging,leading to a high rate of misdiagno-sis.This article reports a case of CSH initially misdiagnosed as a pituitary adenoma,with the diagnosis later confirmed as CSH through surgery and postoperative pathology.By reviewing the literature and analyzing the clinical data and diagnostic-thera-peutic process of this case,this paper summarizes the reasons for the misdiagnosis and proposes preventive measures,aiming to reduce misdiagnosis and mismanagement and provide a reference for clinical practice.
