Trigeminal Schwannoma Originating Motor Branch of the Trigeminal Nerve.

The article discusses a case of a 42-year-old male patient with a rare trigeminal schwannoma originating from the motor branch of the trigeminal nerve. The patient presented with gait disturbance as the main symptom, without facial nerve palsy or numbness. Surgical resection of the tumor was successful, but post-operatively, the patient experienced decreased masticatory function and malocclusion, requiring rehabilitation treatment. The authors emphasize the importance of carefully monitoring mastication function in cases of trigeminal schwannoma originating from the motor branch. [Extracted from the article]
