[Resection of maxillary nerve neurinoma in the pterygomaxillary fossa via Lefort I transmaxillary approach].
Many approaches are used for resection of pterygomaxillary tumors. Le Fort I osteotomy allows a simple and safe access with a wide exposure of the central skull base. This observation presents the resection of a maxillary neurinoma through Lefort I osteotomy with success and no sign of recurrence with a 3 years follow up.
