Endoscopic vascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve.
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression is an effective method of treatment in trigeminal neuralgia. It may fail if a compressing vessel is overlooked during surgery. The endoscope has an edge over the microscope in visualizing such conflicts. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of 51 patients. Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed i...
متن کاملAncient Schwannoma of the Trigeminal Nerve Mimicking High Grade Lesion
Ancient schwannomas rarely found in the central nervous system and ancient change in an intracranial schwannoma (intracranial portion of the trigeminal nerve) is extremely rare. A seventy-year man presented with headache of 3 months duration and one episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Imaging findings were suggestive of left temporal high grade lesion. During surgery there was well...
متن کاملAn animal model for trigeminal neuralgia by compression of the trigeminal nerve root.
BACKGROUND Microvascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root is a major cause of most trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients; however, no reliable animal model to further study the pathogenesis of TN currently exists. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to establish a novel and practical animal model for TN by chronic compression of the trigeminal (CCT) nerve root in rats, which would provide a b...
متن کاملRadiographic analysis of cochlear nerve vascular compression.
OBJECTIVES We analyzed whether radiographically demonstrated anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) vascular compression of the cochleovestibular nerve in asymmetric hearing loss could be correlated to either the symptomatic ear or to cochlear nerve diameter. METHODS We undertook a retrospective case-control study in which patients were enrolled into a database if audiometry demonstrated ...
متن کاملTrigeminal nerve: MRI anatomy and case presentation of trigeminal neuralgia due to arterial compression.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by sporadic episodes of extreme, sudden burning or shock-like face pain that last from a few seconds to 2 minutes. Trigeminal neuralgia has a reported incidence of 5.9/100,000 women and 3.4/100,000 men in USA. The exact pathophysiology is still unclear, but demyelization leading to abnor...
