MASCARENHAS, L. et al. Cavernous malformation of the trigeminal nerve. Neurocirugía [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.1, pp.64-67. ISSN 1130-1473.

A cavernous malformation involving the Gasserian ganglion, 2^ndand 3^rddivisions of the trigeminal nerve on the left side was resected via an extradural route in a 54 year old male. Cavernous malformations of the cranial nerves are rare. Specific origin from the trigeminal nerve has not been previously reported.
