Abstract:
We report a 36 year-old woman who presented with headaches and hypoesthesia of the face. MRI revealed a large dumbbell shaped trigeminal neurinoma extending into both the middle and the posterior cranial fossae. In addition, there was a Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia. Within two months of tumor resection, both the Chiari malformation and the syringomyelia resolved. The association of an intracranial space-occupying lesion with Chiari malformation and syringomyelia is reviewed.
