Treatment of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia due to Teflon granuloma

Trigeminal neuralgia due to pontine infarction.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is most commonly caused by vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root entry zone. Secondary trigeminal neuralgia due to ischemic lesion of the pons is very rare. Here we report a patient with a pontine infarct transecting the central trigeminal pathways resulting with trigeminal neuralgia.

Trigeminal 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...

Trigeminal Neuralgia due to an Isolated Cerebral Varix: Case Report

Intracranial isolated varix is a very rare entity. Although it is usually asymptomatic, there are reports on symptomatic cases with hemorrhage or mass effect that mostly relate to arteriovenous fistulas or arteriovenous malformations. We present an extremely rare case of trigeminal neuralgia caused by an isolated varix. A 55-year-old woman had been experiencing right trigeminal neuralgia for 3 ...
