Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A case of unilateral association of a neurinoma of the VIII nerve and a neurinoma of the temporal fossa in a 33-year-old woman without von Recklinghausen disease stigmata is presented.

This uncommon association can mimic the picture of a trigeminal neurinoma with a dumb-bell extension into the posterior fossa.
