Abstract

Meckel's cave tumour, a rare benign tumour originating from the Schwann cells surrounding the trigeminal nerve within the Meckel's cave region, can present with a variety of clinical manifestations. We report a case of a 44-year-old male patient who presented with symptoms of tear deficiency, including dryness, ocular discomfort, and blurred vision. Diagnostic evaluation revealed the presence of a Meckel's cave tumour harming the trigeminal nerve, leading to alacrimia. This case highlights the association between Meckel's cave tumour and tear deficiency disorders.

作为梅克尔洞穴瘤首发症状的单侧白细胞增多症。
梅克尔穴肿瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,起源于梅克尔穴区域内三叉神经周围的许旺细胞,临床表现多种多样。我们报告了一例 44 岁男性患者的病例,该患者出现泪液缺乏症状,包括眼干、眼部不适和视力模糊。诊断评估显示,患者的三叉神经受到梅克尔氏洞穴瘤的损害,从而导致白内障。本病例强调了梅克尔穴肿瘤与泪液缺乏症之间的关联。
