Steroid-responsive cavernous sinus syndrome due to Rosai-Dorfman disease (MRI)

MRI findings in a man with a steroid-responsive cavernous sinus syndrome due to Rosai-Dorfman disease. There is an extra-axial nodule in the left cerebellopontine angle cistern with isosignal in T1 and low signal in T2/FLAIR with homogeneous contrast enhancement, surrounded by cerebellar edema, with dural tail and no restricted diffusion (A, B, to G). In H and I there is a small extra-axial image with the same characteristics described above in the right temporal region.
