Figure 2. (a) Sagittal T₂ weighted fat saturated image shows a thin hypointense optic nerve stalk attached to the tip of the pyriform cyst traversing through the optic canal. No intracranial communication of the mass is seen and the optic canal is not widened. (b) Axial fat saturated T₂ weighted image shows the thin optic nerve stalk joining the right optic nerve at a malformed optic chiasm (arrow). Also noted is the lack of any area of signal loss in the soft tissue mass on fat suppression.
