Abstract Trigeminal schwannomas (TS) are rare tumors that are located in the posterior and middle cranial fossae in about a quarter of the cases. The presentation pattern is different according to the involved compartment and the goal of surgery is complete removal. We present the case of a 35-year old woman who presented a left sided TS extending from the posterior to the middle fossa and cavernous sinus. We review the relevant literature regarding diagnosis and surgical treatment of these tumors.
