Abstract
Symptomatologic and radiographic features of ten cases of trigeminal neurinoma were analysed and compared with those which were reported in the literature.
Patients often had symptoms of several years duration before they were diagnosed, and in many cases the tumor had grown up too large to make the total removal of tumor impossible. Therefore, it is apparent that early diagnosis is indispensable for the successful treatment of trigeminal neurinoma. We must always be careful in order not to miss a presence of trigeminal neurinoma.
