Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Skull Base Surgery

Background:

  • Neurofibromas are benign nerve sheath tumors.
  • Trigeminal nerve neurofibromas are rare, presenting diagnostic and surgical challenges.
  • Skull base tumors often require multidisciplinary approaches.

Observation:

  • A case of a left trigeminal nerve neurofibroma is presented.
  • The tumor's location necessitated extensive surgical planning and execution.
  • A vertical ramus osteotomy was employed to access the infratemporal space and skull base.

Findings:

  • Total excision of the neurofibroma was achieved through a multidisciplinary surgical effort.
  • The vertical ramus osteotomy provided critical access for complete tumor removal.
