OBJECTIVES:
To determine the frequency of cerebellopontine angle tumors in patients presented with trigeminal neuralgia.
METHODOLOGY:
This descriptive study was conducted in Neurosurgery Department, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from 01-01-2016 to 31-12-2019. Patients with either gender and above 18 years of age diagnosed to be having trigeminal neuralgia and being symptomatic from a minimum duration of 03 months were included in the study. All the patients were subjected to a detailed history, thorough physical and neurological examinations and magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of cerebellopontine angle tumors.
RESULTS:
The mean age group was 43 ± 2.37 years of which 37% were male and 62% were female patients, respectively. Cerebellopontine angle tumors were present in 3% of the patients.
CONCLUSION:
This study concluded that the frequency of cerebellopontine angle tumors was 3% among patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
