Summary
Four cases of neurinoma of the Gasserian ganglion and the trigeminal root are reported. The symptoms are analysed and compared with cases from the literature. The value of early operation in cases with a typical clinical course is emphasized, and it is recommended that operation is performed even before the lesion can be demonstrated by radiography.
