The patient is a 68-year-old man presenting with bilateral hearing loss and left trigeminal neuralgia. Imaging revealed several nerve sheath tumors including a left cerebellopontine angle tumor. Due to unrelenting facial pain, the patient underwent resection of his left cerebellopontine angle tumor, a cochlear schwannoma. He was also found to have vascular compression of his left trigeminal nerve, for which a microvascular decompression was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had complete resolution of his facial pain.
