Trigeminal Schwannoma
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:32:56 am »
Has anyone been diagnosed with a trigeminal schwannoma and what was your outcome.  I was diagnosed with a 2.6cm trigeminal schwannoma.  I am 38 and otherwise in very good health.  I am considering retrosigmoid surgery with Dr. Sisti any thoughts? I'm nervous

I had a regular AN.  My advice, always good to get several opinions.  Then you will know you did a good search for yourself, and that should relieve some of the nerves.  I suggest asking each doc how many trigeminal schwannomas they have done.
