Intraosseous Meningioma Along the Left Petrous Bone: A Rare Cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) presents with symptoms of intense recurrent shock-like brief pain localized to specific areas of the face innervated by the fifth cranial nerve. The pathology of trigeminal neuralgia is attributed to the fifth cranial nerve compression or demyelination. Most cases of this d...

description | Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) presents with symptoms of intense recurrent shock-like brief pain localized to specific areas of the face innervated by the fifth cranial nerve. The pathology of trigeminal neuralgia is attributed to the fifth cranial nerve compression or demyelination. Most cases of this diagnosis are not due to bony structures, making this case an uncommon presentation of trigeminal neuralgia. Herein, we present a case of trigeminal neuralgia due to an intraosseous meningioma that formed along the left petrous bone, resulting in trigeminal nerve compression. On head computed tomography (CT), osteomatous growths along the left petrous bone were noticed compressing the trigeminal nerve. After trigeminal nerve decompression and drilling out the protruding part of the petrous bone through middle cranial fossa craniotomy, the patient’s symptoms were completely improved postoperatively and at the two-month follow-up. To our knowledge, there are only four reported cases of trigeminal neuralgia caused by petrous bone compression in the literature. We emphasize the significance of considering petrous bone lesions as a cause of trigeminal neuralgia. |
