Endonasal endoscopic removal of a large intracranial infratemporal fossa trigeminal schwannoma: A case report and literature review

Pediatric multicompartmental trigeminal schwannoma: illustrative case

“…10 Resection remains the gold standard treatment, but the choice of approach is nuanced and depends largely on tumor anatomy and surgeon comfort. For both adult and pediatric multicompartmental lesions, surgical corridors may include combinations of presigmoid, frontotemporal, subtemporal/ transpetrosal, and two-stage middle and posterior fossa exposures, [2][3][4][5][6]11 with or without the addition of endonasal endoscopic 2,[12][13][14][15][16] or transfacial (transmaxillary/transmandibular) approaches to target significant infratemporal extension. 4,11,[17][18][19] Management of TS in pediatric patients presents additional challenges because of anatomical differences, the potential for impact on development, and the need to minimize blood loss.…”
