The leading cause of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) relies on the microvascular conflict between the superior cerebellar artery (SCA) loop and the dorsal root entry zone of the trigeminal nerve (TN). However, lesions along the TN have been described as a possible cause of TGN for direct mass effect or indirect vascular transposition. Thus, the surgical approach to TGN in patients harboring cerebellopontine angle or Meckel's cave tumor should be methodically chosen. The retrosigmoid (RS) approach with suprameatal extension offers direct access to the TN in both its cisternal and Meckel's cave segment, allowing optimal TN decompression from vascular and tumoral components. Although the RS approach with suprameatal extension has been described in numerous studies,1-4 videos detailing its key steps in addressing a multicomponent TGN are lacking. In this video, we highlight the case of a 46 year-old woman with 6 months of medically refractory typical TGN with a right en plaque meningioma involving the petrous bone, petroclival junction, Meckel's cave, and tentorium. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging was suspicious for a compressive SCA loop over the dorsal root entry zone. The patient underwent a RS approach with suprameatal extension for subtotal resection of the tumor and microvascular decompression of the TGN. The patient recovered with no complications and TGN resolved.
