Schwannoma of the Greater Superficial Petrosal Nerve: An Unusual Site for a Common Tumor
The most common cranial nerves known to harbor schwannomas are vestibulocochlear, trigeminal, facial, and lower cranial nerves. Greater superficial petrosal nerve (GSPN) schwannoma forms a small subset of the larger group of facial nerve schwannomas and is a very rare clinical entity. A thorough lit...

| description | The most common cranial nerves known to harbor schwannomas are vestibulocochlear, trigeminal, facial, and lower cranial nerves. Greater superficial petrosal nerve (GSPN) schwannoma forms a small subset of the larger group of facial nerve schwannomas and is a very rare clinical entity. A thorough literature search yielded only 30 such cases reported to date in the English literature, 6 of them reported from India. We present a rare case of GSPN schwannoma and discuss the clinical spectrum and management along with a review of the literature. |
