“…Several surgical approaches have been proposed for the treatment of extracranial trigeminal schwannomas, including transmaxillary, facial translocation, transpterygoid, infratemporal fossa (Tiwari, 1998), and orbito-zygomatic approaches (Zhang et al, 2009). These approaches, particularly the orbito-zygomatic approach, provide adequate exposure of the skull base and therefore of the higher part of the tumour (Al-Mefty and Anand, 1990).…”

“…65,67 Their heterogeneity varies according to the presence of cystic changes or, rarely, hemorrhage or calcifications. [65][66][67] Melanotic schwannomas are rare and show intrinsic T1 hyperintensity, in which case they may be confused with lipomas, although the latter suppress on fat-saturated sequences. 59,68,69…”

“…64 The most common location of CN V schwannomas is the gasserian ganglion, but they can also affect the cisternal or postganglionic segments, and the cavernous sinus is often involved. 65,66 Most patients present with CN V dysfunction, although symptoms related to compression of CN VI within Dorello's canal may be present. 65 On MRI, schwannomas are iso-to hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2-weighted sequences and show avid contrast enhancement ( Figure 9).…”

“…Trigeminal neurinomas can however, if small, arise from any portion of the trigeminal nerve namely cisternal, gasserian or the postganglionic section made of any of the three peripheral divisions of the nerve (ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular). These tumors account for 0.07% to 0.36% of all intracranial tumors, around a third of all tumors of Meckel's cave and 0.8% to 8% of all intracranial schwannomas [6] [10] [13] [14] [15] [17] [18] [19]. As with other schwannomas, there could be an association with Neurofibromatosis type 2.…”
