Trigeminal schwannomas are the second most common intracranial schwannoma. They may occur sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis type 2. The vast majority are benign in nature although malignancies have been reported. They may present with a range of symptoms because of their variable locations in areas with multiple differing functional activities. There is little understanding of the natural history of these tumours, and the choice of treatment includes surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated radiotherapy. This article reviews the management options and outcomes. The incidence of recurrence and the time interval following treatment to recurrence is unpredictable.
三叉神经鞘瘤是第二常见的颅内神经鞘瘤。它们可能散发出现，或与2型神经纤维瘤病相关。尽管有恶性报道，但绝大多数本质上是良性的。由于它们在具有多种不同功能活动的区域位置可变，可能会出现一系列症状。人们对这些肿瘤的自然史了解甚少，治疗选择包括手术、立体定向放射外科和分次放疗。本文综述了治疗方案和结果。复发率以及治疗后至复发的时间间隔是不可预测的。
