Summary

Radiological and clinical symptoms of trigeminal neurinomas are related in 6 cases from our clinic. The clinical features are only superficially reported and not discussed. The radiological symptoms are extensively described. In particular, bone lesion at the orbital and pyramidal apices caused by an expansively growing tumour, and bone defects in the floor of the middle fossa, are found. The roentgenographic projections necessary for the identification of these alterations are discussed.

Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent les symptômes radiologiques et cliniques de 6 cas de neurinomes du trijumeau observés dans leur clinique. Les aspects cliniques ne sont traités que superficiellement et non discutés. Les symptômes radiologiques sont décrits plus en détail. On note en particulier une lésion osseuse de la région orbitaire et des pyramides causée par une masse expansive et les altérations osseuses du plancher de la fosse moyenne. Les auteurs discutent les projections radiographiques nécessaires pour l’identification de ces altérations.

Zusammenfassung

Bericht über die klinische Symptomatik und die radiologischen Anzeichen von Trigeminus-Neurinomen. Dabei wird ausführlich auf die Röntgen-Projektionen eingegangen, die zum Nachweis von Veränderungen bei Trigeminus-Neurinomen erforderlich sind.
