title: Endoscopic approach of the pterygopalatine fossa: report of one case.
abstract: We report one case of schwannoma of the pterygopalatine fossa. The pre-operative management and post-operative follow-up are presented. For this uncommon localization, we propose an endoscopic approach via the nasal fossa and the maxillary sinus. The advantages and limitations of this technique are discussed.
