Abstract

Trigeminal nerve lipomas are rare tumors that typically cause progressive focal neurologic symptoms due to their intimate involvement with nerve fascicles and adjacent neural structures. We describe the CT and magnetic resonance (MR) findings of this unusual tumor. The changes in signal intensity on T1 and T2 weighted MR scans provide precise anatomic location and tissue characterization prior to surgical intervention.
