Abstract:
Facial pain is a common complaint that leads those who have it to seek professional help. Often times, the general dentist is the first clinician that a patient consults because of a presumed odontogenic origin of the pain. Occasionally a small number of these patients will be found to have an intracranial tumor. The case reported here is one such patient who was diagnosed and treated for a seventh nerve schwannoma.
