The surgical management of trigeminal schwannomas (TNs) entails the use of a variety of cranial base approaches for their effective surgical management. Although an extended middle fossa or posterior petrosal approach may be more appropriate for disease with primarily posterior fossa involvement, the expanded endoscopic approaches are suited for tumors with predominately middle fossa and/or extracranial involvement along the V2 and V3 divisions and limited posterior fossa extension. The endoscopic endonasal resection of TNs within the middle fossa, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratennporal fossa is reviewed in this article with a brief discussion of reported outcomes.
