Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gives an accurate analysis of Meckel' s cave variability. Images were acquired in 50 patients with several s ections for anatomical comparison. Using several sections, MRI is a su itable method for better analysis of the trigeminal cistern. The most frequent findings are symetrical trigeminal cisterns. Expansion of Mec kel's cave or its disappearance has pathological significance.
