Abstract
The cavernous sinuses are complicated venous structures comprising important neurovascular structures, the internal carotidartery and the oculomotor, trochlear, ophthalmic, maxillary and abducens nerves. Injury to these structures can lead to severeneurovascular complications and even to death. The sinus may be invaded by neoplastic, infectious, inflammatory, and vascular processes. A precise knowledge of the complex anatomy of the cavernous sinus and anatomical orientation is essential for surgery in this area. This work presents a coffee cup model of the cavernous sinus to aid in learning the cavernoussinus anatomy
