Trigeminal neuralgia caused by intracranial epidermoid tumour: report of a case.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a recognized complication in patients with intracranial tumours affecting the trigeminal nerve. This case report describes an epidermoid tumour at the cerebellopontine angle in a middle-aged man with otherwise classical unilateral trigeminal neuralgia. The case highlights the difficulties of diagnosis and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when trigeminal neu...
متن کاملTrigeminal neuralgia caused by intracranial epidermoid tumor: report of a case and review of the different therapeutic modalities.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) is characterized by recurrent paroxysms of unilateral facial pain that typically is severe, lancinating, and activated with cutaneous stimulation. Paroxysms typically last for 1 to 2 seconds. Etiology includes compression of the trigeminal nerve by vascular structures, tumors and multiple sclerosis plaques in the medulla spinalis. TGN is rather rare as a presenting sy...
متن کاملEpidermoid cyst presenting as isolated trigeminal neuralgia - two case reports.
PURPOSE Symptomatic TN accounts for up to 15% of all TN. Though there are many established "red flag" signs, it is still sometimes difficult to sift symptomatic from classic TN. We herein report two cases of isolated TN with normal neurologic examinations and then tissue proved as epidermoid cyst. CASE REPORT CASE 1 A 17-year-old girl presented with paroxysmal intense pain mixed dull backg...
متن کاملOperative findings on microsurgical exploration of the cerebello-pontine angle in trigeminal neuralgia.
The anatomical findings in 52 patients undergoing posterior fossa exploration for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia are described. Anatomical abnormalities in the cerebello-pontine angle were found in 46. The commonest was an arterial loop indenting or distorting the nerve at the root entry zone. In view of this the operative procedure has been changed from root section to microvascular decompres...
متن کاملTrigeminal Neuralgia Caused by Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery
A 66-year-old man presented with typical trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed a primitive trigeminal artery (PTA) that came into contact with the trigeminal nerve. Based on MRA, we performed microvascular decompression (MVD). In the operational field, we confirmed the PTA location and performed MVD successfully. Postoperatively, the patient's pain subsided wi...
