Occasionally, TN may be secondary to cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors, such as meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, or epidermoid cysts. When both a tumor and a vascular loop contribute to nerve compression, the resulting, as we refer to the \"double crush\" phenomenon, complicates surgical management and necessitates a more comprehensive therapeutic strategy. Literature indicates that a simultaneous approach targeting both the tumor and the NVC is crucial to achieving optimal outcomes. Microvascular decompression (MVD) alone may be insufficient for patients with tumor-associated TN, as the residual mass effect can persist. The literature suggests that combining MVD with tumor resection provides superior pain relief and reduces recurrence rates. An endoscopic retrosigmoid craniotomy offers enhanced visualization and maneuverability, allowing complete tumor resection and effective nerve decompression with excellent clinical results. We present the case of a 55-year-old female with right-sided TN due to a petrous meningioma and an adjacent superior cerebellar artery loop compressing the trigeminal nerve.
