Anatomoclinical features of trigeminal neuralgia caused by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia
Vertebrobasilardolichoectasia (VBDE) is a rare cause of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The size and tortuous course of the offending vessel poses a particular challenge when attempting a surgical treatment with microvascular decompression. There are few reports on the radiological and surgical anatomy encountered in this condition. The anatomical and radiological features of a surgical series of 7 ...
متن کاملTrigeminal Neuralgia due to Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia
We presented a case of drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia attributed to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia, a rare condition characterized by enlargement, tortuosity, or elongation of intracranial arteries. Dolichoectatic vessels can cause dysfunction of cranial nerves through direct vascular compression. The relationships of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia with the particularities of neurovascular...
متن کاملCoil Embolization For Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy Caused By Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery
The author reports on the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with recurrent left sixth cranial nerve palsy. The patient was initially hospitalized to rule out an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. Angiography revealed segmental dilation of the internal carotid artery and a persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA) that coursed through the dorsolateral cavernous sinus, opening i...
متن کاملCapecitabine and sixth cranial nerve palsy.
Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapeutic agent converted to 5 fluorouracil (5-FU). Neurotoxicity associated with the medication encompasses both central and peripheral nervous systems. We describe a 60 year old man with colonic carcinoma who developed diplopia due to a sixth nerve palsy following the use of capecitabine which is an orally administered prodrug of 5-FU. An MRI of brain did not re...
متن کاملNasal cause of sixth cranial nerve palsy.
Anatomically the cavernous sinus is closely related to the sphenoid sinus and the nasopharynx. Sphenoid sinusitis, as demonstrated in the case can affect the nerves which are contained within it. Apart from the sinus, a direct extension from a nasopharyngeal lesion is commonly encountered to cause diplopia, owing to the sixth nerve involvement. The provisional diagnosis should be a nasopharynge...
