Stenting and secondary coiling of intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm: technical case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Schwannomas that arise from the trigeminal nerve are rare and are usually managed by surgical resection. The role of radiosurgery in the care of patients with these basal tumors remains to be defined. METHODS:We reviewed the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes for 16 trigeminal schwannoma patient...
