Trochlear nerve schwannoma: A case description and review of the literature
Sporadic trochlear nerve schwannomas are rare entities that require a high index of suspicion for diagnosis and an individualized therapeutic strategy. Microsurgical resection through a subtemporal approach remains a safe and effective treatment in symptomatic cases. Long-term follow-up with MRI is recommended given the potential - although low-risk of recurrence. Case reports remain essential for informing clinical and surgical decision-making in these uncommon lesions.
