Problems in clinical and neuroimaging diagnostics of trigeminal schwannomas arrising from gasserian ganglion
Abstract
Summary: This article is foccused on a retrospective single-center experience including patients who underwent surgery for trigeminal schwannoma tumors. This study is concentrating on clinical and neuroimaging features important for differential diagnosis, it reflects surgical technique, extent of resection, postoperative outcome.
Methods: Current results of perioperative examination and surgical treatment of 21 patients who were treated in the IV department of RNSI over the past 10 years have been analyzed.
Results: In 47.6 % of cases, total tumor removal was performed without a significant increase in focal symptoms.
Supporting agencies: The study was performed without external funding
