  • Title: Multicompartmental trigeminal schwannoma--a clinical report.
    Author: Moiyadi AV, Satish S, Rao G, Santosh V.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2008 Jul; 19(4):1177-80. PubMed ID: 18650756.
    Abstract:
    Trigeminal schwannomas are rare, benign tumors. The unique course of the trigeminal nerve allows these tumors to grow into various intracranial compartments. Multicompartmental tumors are infrequent and may present a formidable challenge to the surgeon. Liaison between a neurosurgeon and a craniofacial surgeon ensures optimal surgical outcome. We report one such patient. The tumor was approached via a modified frontotemporal craniotomy with orbitozygomatic osteotomy. It was completely extradural and could be totally excised with minimal morbidity.
