Trigeminal neuralgia and posterior fossa meningioma: case report and review of literature

Abstract Trigeminal neuralgia may be idiopathic or may involve other causes. It can be secondary to posterior fossa tumors many times. In the present case, posterior fossa meningioma was detected with trigeminal neuralgia together. However, relevant meningioma is not seen as a cause of trigeminal neuralgia clinic with posterior fossa settlement. Tumor localization and the story of the patient suggest that the two diseases are completely separate processes. Meningioma was completely incidentally visualized during magnetic resonance imaging. In our article, we present this coexistency. We also performed a brief review of the literature investigating the relationship between trigeminal neuralgia and intracranial lesions during this case report

Primary Intracranial Germinomas: Retrospective Analysis of Five Cases

AIM: Primary intracranial germinomas (PIGs) are rare malignant brain tumors that represent approximately 0.2% to 1.7% of all primary intracranial tumors. PIGs have infrequent, but there is a possibility of spinal cord metastases. In this study, clinical outcomes of five consecutive PIGs have been presented
