Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 69-year-old woman presented with ptosis and double vision and diagnosed with atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in the sella turcica. It is noted that a heterogeneously enhanced mass measuring 2.8 × 1.6 cm in the sella turcica was diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging. It is stated that improving the ocular motility disorder, the intrasellar component of the tumor was removed.
