case_images: Axial CT scan demonstrates arachnoid pit lateral to sphenoid sinus (black arrow). An approximately 9-mm size defect in the left superolateral wall of the sphenoid sinus (white asterisk) just lateral to foramen rotundum, with a soft tissue density mass filling the adjacent part of the sphenoid sinus. Notice the pneumatization of most far lateral recesses of sphenoid sinus (white arrow).
