Abstract

A 43-year-old male presented with a low-density mass on computed tomographic scans; the mass did not exhibit contrast enhancement. The tumor was subtotally removed, and the intraoperative diagnosis was trochlear nerve neurinoma. Six other cases have been reported. The characteristic symptoms and signs of this tumor appear to be unusual facial sensations and signs of brain stem compression rather than trochlear nerve palsy.
