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...
متن کاملAnatomoclinical 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 ...

BACKGROUND We report the result obtained using Gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery on the trigeminal ganglion (TG) in a patient with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) secondary to vertebrobasilar ectasia (VBE). CASE DESCRIPTION Retrospective review of medical records corresponding to one patient with VBE-related trigeminal pain treated with radiosurgery. Because of the impossibility of visualizatio...
متن کاملVertebrobasilar dolichoectasia as a cause of trigeminal neuralgia: the role of microvascular decompression. Case report.
Our purpose is to report a case of trigeminal neuralgia caused by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia treated with microvascular decompression. A 63-year-old man sought treatment for a recurrent lancinating left facial pain in V2 and V3 trigeminal territories. The computed tomography angiography revealed a mechanical compression of the left trigeminal nerve due to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia. The...

Dra. Cristina Birlem Bleil – Rua Henrique Scliar 284 91220-520 Porto Alegre RS Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is an anatomic variant that consists of enlargement and dilatation, often associated with a tortuous and elongated vessel. The anomaly is probably due to a marked thinning of the internal elastica lamina and media, most likely as a consequenc...
