Craniotomy and clipping of intracranial aneurysm in a stereoscopic virtual reality environment.

abstract：:Two cases of very small trigeminal neurinomas arising proximal to Meckel's cave are presented. We believe that the overlap of the symptoms and signs of these tumors with those of atypical trigeminal neuralgia strengthens the concept of the latter entity also being due to compression of the trigeminal nerve solely with...
