Trigeminal schwannomas are rare tumours comprising 0.2% of all intracranial tumours and 0.5% of all head and neck tumours. Patients with trigeminal schwannomas presented with facial hypoesthesia and pain. We presented a case with left bulging oropharynx. The CT scan showed a 3.8x2.6x4.9cm left parapharyngeal tumour compressed to the oropharynx and middle cranial fossa. We performed 3 ways in two times of operation to excise the whole tumour. We chose the transoral approach for parapharyngeal space, trans-parotid approach for deep parotid part and the endoscopic endonasal trans-pterygoid approach and trans-maxillary with Canine fossa trephination for intracranial lesions. The pathology showed schwannoma. A huge schwannoma extended from intracranial to several spaces is difficult to resect just by one approach. We should separate the tumour to several parts by clinical image before the operation and design a plan to remove the whole tumour in different approach. The different space of tumour involvement had several ways to access. We needed to choose the less harm but with better surgical field.
