Invisible compression, anterior fossa tumor causing trigeminal neuralgia.
Surgical neurology international(2021)
摘要
A surgical definitive treatment can be offered to patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia secondary to lesions adjacent to Gasserian ganglion or trigeminal branches. In this respect, posterior and middle fossae tumors are well-reported etiologies. Nevertheless, in the absence of evident compression, other neoplasms located in the vicinity of these critical structures and considered as radiological findings may be involved in trigeminal pain. Microvascular and pressure gradient changes could be an underlying cause of these symptoms in anterior skull base lesions. Here, we report the case of a patient with uncontrollable hemifacial pain resolved after anterior clinoid meningioma removal.
