A 55-year-old man present with a case of ganglioneuroma manifesting as sudden onset of severe headache. T(1)-weighted magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a heterogeneously enhanced mass (3 × 3 × 2.5 cm) in the left middle cranial fossa compressing the left cavernous sinus. The tumor was totally removed through a frontozygomatic approach. The histological diagnosis was ganglioneuroma originating from the second division of the trigeminal nerve in the middle cranial fossa. Ganglioneuroma can occur wherever ganglion cells exist, but ganglioneuroma originating from the trigeminal nerve is rare, with only two cases reported.
一名55岁男性患者，患有神经节细胞瘤，表现为突发剧烈头痛。T1加权磁共振成像显示左中颅窝有一个不均匀强化的肿块（3×3×2.5厘米），压迫左海绵窦。通过额颧入路将肿瘤完全切除。组织学诊断为起源于中颅窝三叉神经第二分支的神经节细胞瘤。神经节细胞瘤可发生于任何存在神经节细胞的部位，但起源于三叉神经的神经节细胞瘤罕见，仅报道过两例。
