Neurofibroma of the Infratemporal Fossa: Case Report and Technical Note

Abstract: The authors present a case of benign neurofibroma arising from the infratemporal fossa, which they removed successfully through a transoral transmaxillary approach. The anatomy of the infratemporal region is discussed. The transoral transmaxillary approach and the parotid approach to the infratemporal fossa are contrasted.

“…Bone erosion is usually secondary to pressure necrosis than by invasion. In these regions, schwannomas are most frequently found in the parapharyngeal area in association with lower cranial nerves or the sympathetic chain [11]. The infratemporal fossa is one of the least common anatomical sites for schwannomas [9,10].…”

“…It is important to note that the upper gingivo-buccal sulcus forms the floor anteriorly and masses in the infratemporal fossa may present first in this region [12]. The infratemporal fossa contains the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles, the mandibular nerve and its branches, the first and second parts of the maxillary artery and the accompanying veins, the otic ganglion, the vidian nerve and the sphenomandibular ligament [11]. Sometimes it may also contain salivary glands which may develop tumors which present in this region [13].…”

“…A RM e a TC de crânio no pós-operatório indicaram ressecção tumoral completa (Fig 4 ). Na revisão da literatura encontramos 17 casos de schwanomas originados nos ramos V2 e V3 do nervo trigêmeo, localizados nas fossas ptérigo-palatina e infratemporal 2,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . O ramo oftálmico também pode ser acometido, como ocorreu em 13 casos referidos na literatura 3,5,6,8,10,14 .…”

“…Este trabalho também mostrou que a média de idade para aparecimento dos sintomas é 40 anos. Na literatura pesquisada por nós, a idade de aparecimento dos sintomas dos pacientes portadores de schwanoma de trigêmeo extracraniano variou de 16 a 72 anos, sendo mais freqüente entre 40 e 60 anos, com predomínio no sexo feminino na proporção de 2,4 :1 2,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . Disfunção do nervo foi observada em cerca de 70% dos casos de schwanomas do trigêmeo revisados por Yoshida e Kawase 10 , sendo a hipoestesia o achado mais frequente .…”
