Flatness of the Meckel cave may cause primary trigeminal neuralgia: a radiomics-based study

Abstract Background Neurovascular contact (NVC) is the main cause of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN); however, cases of PTN without NVC are still observed. In this study, the Meckel cave (MC) morphology in PTN were analyzed by radiomics and compared to healthy controls (HCs) to explore the cause...
