In the largest series of patient cases operated by trigeminal schwannomas, total or near-total resection could be reached in up to 82% of cases [2, 8]. The most common symptom in the postoperative period was facial hypoesthesia, occurring in 65–86% of cases [2, 8]. Residual facial pain was seen in 23% of the patients in the series of Wanibuchi et al. and diplopia was reported in this same series in 20% of cases, with persistent deficit in only 5% of patients and worsening of the deficit in only 1 patient of 105 operated patients [8]. Tumor resection, in lesions that extend to multiple regions, is feasible with a high rate of total resection [12].
