Surgical management of atypical trigeminal neuralgia secondary to tentorial meningioma: 2D video.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tentorial meningiomas (TM) are complex entities with distinguished clinical, radiological and surgical considerations. They comprise approximately 3 - 6% of all intracranial meningiomas1. TM have been classified in 5 subgroups according to the modified Yasargil's classification, based on their location 2 and 3.
