Management of Trigeminal Neuralgia Caused by an Intraneural Spiral Trigeminocerebellar Artery: A Case Report
The trigeminocerebellar artery (TCA) is a branch of the basilar artery that may have an intraneural course and may cause trigeminal neuralgia. We report a case of trigeminal neuralgia with right vertebral artery aneurysm caused by an intraneural TCA that compressed the trigeminal nerve in multiple places. We performed proximal trapping for the fusiform aneurysm with extra-intracranial bypass to...
متن کاملTrigeminal Neuralgia Caused by Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery
A 66-year-old man presented with typical trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed a primitive trigeminal artery (PTA) that came into contact with the trigeminal nerve. Based on MRA, we performed microvascular decompression (MVD). In the operational field, we confirmed the PTA location and performed MVD successfully. Postoperatively, the patient's pain subsided wi...
متن کاملTrigeminal neuralgia caused by intracranial epidermoid tumour: report of a case.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a recognized complication in patients with intracranial tumours affecting the trigeminal nerve. This case report describes an epidermoid tumour at the cerebellopontine angle in a middle-aged man with otherwise classical unilateral trigeminal neuralgia. The case highlights the difficulties of diagnosis and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when trigeminal neu...
متن کاملSecondary Trigeminal Neuralgia Caused by a Tentorial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review
Trigeminal neuralgia caused by a tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula has rarely been reported. The mechanism underlying the development of trigeminal neuralgia has been reported to be the compression of the root entry zone by the arterialized draining vein. However, the cases showing refractory or recurrent neuralgia could imply the presence of another underlying mechanism. We herein describe...
متن کاملTrigeminal neuralgia caused by brain arteriovenous malformations: A case report and literature review
Few cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) induced by brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) have previously been reported. The present case report described one case of TGN caused by bAVMs in a 32-year-old male patient who suffered from recurrent pain in his right cheek for a period of two years, for whom the seizure frequency and duration of pain increased for 6 months. Magnetic resonance ima...
