AI Article Synopsis
- Trochlear schwannomas are rare benign tumors in the brain that often cause double vision (diplopia).
- Surgical removal of these tumors usually involves both neurotologists and neurosurgeons using a combined petrosal approach.
- The study highlighted a case of a rapidly growing trochlear nerve schwannoma that had no other symptoms.
Article Abstract
Trochlear schwannomas typically present with diplopia and are extremely rare benign intracranial neoplasms that require the combined expertise of neurotologists and neurosurgeons for surgical excision. A combined petrosal approach offers a surgical route for removal of growing and/or symptomatic tumors. A study of a trochlear nerve schwannoma that demonstrated rapid growth but was otherwise asymptomatic was presented in this study.
