Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Cranial Nerve Surgery

Background:

  • Trigeminal schwannomas (TS) are uncommon neurosurgical tumors.
  • Limited large-scale case series exist for TS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Analyze clinical characteristics of TS.
  • Evaluate surgical approaches and outcomes for TS.
  • Determine the efficacy of surgical resection for TS.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 68 patients with TS treated between 1993-2005.
  • Classification of tumors based on size (Type A, B, C).
  • Surgical treatment utilized skull base approaches.

Main Results:

  • Most patients were in their fourth decade; symptom duration varied widely.

Subcutaneous Trigeminal Nerve Field Stimulation for Refractory Facial Pain

Published on: May 10, 2017

  • Complete tumor excision was achieved in 76% of cases with available radiological follow-up.
  • Mortality was 1 patient; permanent morbidity (15%) included cranial nerve palsies and corneal opacity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Trigeminal schwannomas necessitate total surgical resection.
    • Skull base approaches yield acceptable results for TS.
    • Surgical treatment of TS is associated with low mortality and permanent morbidity rates.
