Experience with five cases of sphenoid dysplasia is collected and illustrated by plain film, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Ancillary changes in the maxilla and mandible are shown. Paramount to the presentation are changes induced in the orbit resulting in a large superior orbital fissure with or without a meningeal cyst projecting through the fissure. Serial studies of one patient from birth through 5 years of age present the progressive nature of this abnormality.
