Trigeminal nerve neurofibroma: case report.
A case of left trigeminal nerve neurofibroma is presented. The location of the lesion required a multidisciplinary surgical effort for total excision. A vertical ramus osteotomy allowed access to the infratemporal space and base of skull. The frequency and clinical features of trigeminal nerve tumors are discussed.
