====== Middle fossa trigeminal schwannoma ====== {{rss>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rss/search/1t7jLQ--MCbUS-j-S1CEPTQ-0HZwVpA1w_TDZjRtLYSjfrDQvW/?limit=15&utm_campaign=pubmed-2&fc=20230118145743}} A middle fossa trigeminal schwannoma, also known as a trigeminal neuroma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that develops on the trigeminal nerve in the middle cranial fossa of the skull. This nerve is responsible for facial sensation and movement, so these tumors can cause a variety of symptoms such as facial pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty with movement of the face. Treatment options include observation, surgery, and radiation therapy. The choice of treatment will depend on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's symptoms and overall health.
