We report on diagnosis, treatment and clinical course of a solitary schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve with consecutive metastatic spread in a 45-year-old woman. The patient presented a temporal lobe syndrome with psychomotor seizures. Trigeminal nerve function was intact apart from a transient hypaesthesia in the mandibular branch. Assuming a meningioma the tumor was removed via a temporal approach. Secondary to the definitive histological diagnosis radiation therapy was performed. After that the patient was symptom-free. 4 months later a large recurrent tumor was found involving the cavernous sinus and the pterygopalatine fossa. In a second operation the tumor was resected intra- and extradurally through an infratemporal preauricular approach in cooperation with an oral and maxillo-facial surgeon. At this time multiple pulmonary metastases developed showing no response to polychemotherapy (EVI). The patient died 13 months after onset of the disease. Hitherto, only 5 cases of a primary malignant schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve have been published in the world literature.
