Abstract:
A case of an epidermoid cyst in the cerebello-pontine angle presenting with facial pain is reported. The tumour was discovered during neurovascular decompression of the fifth nerve. A pre-operative CT scan was normal. The role of neuroradiological investigation in young patients with trigeminal neuralgia is discussed.
