IMAGING EVALUATION OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

IMAGING EVALUATION OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating pain syndrome in the sensory distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Compression of the cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve by a vessel, usually an artery, is considered the most common cause of trigeminal neuralgia. A number of additional lesions may...
