Trigeminal neurinoma associated with suprasellar arachnoid cyst: case report

Neurosurgery. 1986 Sep;19(3):454-7. doi: 10.1227/00006123-198609000-00022.

Abstract

The first case of trigeminal neurinoma associated with suprasellar arachnoid cyst is presented. Coexistence of these two lesions may be accidental, but it is also possible that the arachnoid cyst was secondary to the neurinoma.
