A 44-years old @entity1 developed @entity4905 -like symptoms with dysaesthesia around the mouth, vertigo and @entity892 . MRI revealed a cystic space-occupying lesion on the right Meckel's cave, which spread out into cerebellopontine angle in a further examination. Therefore surgical exploration was performed using a suboccipital approach. An @entity145 was found and removed including its wall. About three months later the @entity1 suffered again from dysaesthesias of the right side of the face and a new MRI revealed a recurrence of the lesion, with extension into the cerebellopontine angle, too. Surgical revision was done using the same approach and the recurrent cyst was removed. Postoperatively, there were a transient hypaesthesia in the distribution area of the right trigeminal nerve and a light @entity1151 occurred as a complication. No symptoms have returned during an observation period of 15 months. CONCLUSION: An @entity145 must be considered as a rare cause, when a lesion is found at the Meckel's cave with intermittent clinical symptoms of a trigeminal nerve affection. As surgical treatment we favour fenestration and cyst wall resection.
