Abstract
Summary: A surrey of the literature and a review of these cases which have been selected from a larger series, emphasize the fact that the fifth nerve trunk, ganglion or its branches can be involved by a variety of neoplasms, and that unless this fact is clearly appreciated by physicians and rhinologists, mistakes in diagnosis can and do occur very easily. Routine examination of the functions of the fifth nerve should always be carried out in allcases in which other cranial nerves are involved or in any case in which intracranial disease is suspected, while closer cooperation between the physician, nenrologist and rhinologist is essential.
