An epidermoid cyst is a rare tumor of the cerebellopontine angle region. It usually presents with ipsilateral compressive symptoms. The contralateral trigeminal neuralgia is an unusual presentation in such cases. We did not find such case reports in the literature.
Here, we report a case of a 62-year-old female with a right cerebellopontine angle epidermoid cyst presenting with right hearing impairment and the contralateral trigeminal neuralgia.
The possible mechanism leading to the contralateral trigeminal neuralgia is discussed here along with the diagnosis and management of the case.
表皮样囊肿是桥小脑角区的一种罕见肿瘤。它通常表现为同侧压迫症状。对侧三叉神经痛在这类病例中是一种不寻常的表现。我们在文献中未发现此类病例报告。
在此，我们报告一例62岁女性，患有右侧桥小脑角表皮样囊肿，表现为右耳听力减退及对侧三叉神经痛。
本文讨论了导致对侧三叉神经痛的可能机制以及该病例的诊断和治疗。
