Posterior fossa tumor presenting as trigeminal neurolgia : a case report / Mary Rose Adeline R. Meneses. - Fairview, Quezon City Department of Otolaryngology, FEU-NRMF, 2007 - 10 pages: photos (black and white); (in folder)
Includes appendices and bibliographical references.
SUMMARY: Presented is a case of 62 year-old patient with a posterior fossa tumor manifesting as trigeminal neuralgia. This case illustrates an uncommon cause of facial pain where the classical signs and symptoms of a posterior cranial fossa tumor were absent and the typical symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia were the only presentation. This case further demonstrates that when the usual medications for a specific condition being treated are no longer effective, a high index of suspicion and prudence should warrant further investigation to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
