Abstract
Internal carotid artery (ICA) in the skull base is accompanied by sympathetic fibers. A part of them continues to accompany the ICA intradurally and distaly, but a part of sympathetic fibers separate from ICA sympathetic bundles in the parasellar region and follow the courses of abducent and trigeminal nerves. Cavernous sinus surgery may destroy these fibers. Autonomic dysfunction syndromes in the head relate the injury of sympathetic fibers in parasellar space to the exact anatomical site, but these were not yet tested in clinical settings. Autonomic function in the face skin and eye will be measured before and after surgery and compared to healthy side and autonomic dysfunction will be related to the clinical observations. The compensatory capacity of the rest of the autonomic innervation in the face could be evaluated in prospective study.
