RESUMO
False localizing signs involving cranial nerves are rare, even more so when involving the trigeminal nerve. Here we present the first case of trigeminal V2 sensory loss as a false localizing sign. The sensory dysfunction was caused by a large contralateral cystic vestibular schwannoma and subsequently improved after tumor resection. The clinical and radiographic features are described, and proposed mechanisms for this false localizing sign are discussed.
