  • Title: Trigeminal neuralgia and cerebellopontine-angle lipoma in a child.
    Author: Raieli V, Eliseo G, Manfrè L, Pandolfi E, Romano M, Eliseo M.
    Journal: Headache; 2001; 41(7):720-2. PubMed ID: 11554961.
    Abstract:
    Trigeminal neuralgia and cerebellopontine-angle lipomas are very rare in children. We describe the history and findings of an 8-year-old boy with right trigeminal neuralgia and a lipoma detected by magnetic resonance imaging at the level of the root-entry zone of the right seventh cranial nerve. We propose a possible mechanism of infiltration of the trigeminal rootlets by the lipoma.
