BACKGROUND We introduce a method of noninvasive topographical analysis of the neurovascular relationships of the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) by three-dimensional (3D) visualization. Patients with glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN) resulting from neurovascular compression (NVC) were studied. METHODS 15 patients with GN were prospectively examined with 3D visualization using high-resolution mag...

The Canalis Sinuosus is a structure of the maxilla that allows passage anterosuperior alveolar nerve and has neurovascular activity. To visualize this structure, Conical Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) best recommended. This article aimed to report case facial pain after insertion dental implant due compression Sinuosus. Thus, was removed, followed by bone graft. After that, stopped. In conclus...

AIM Trigeminal neuralgia is a disabling form of facial pain that causes a considerable discomfort and a marked reduction in the quality of life. Although neurovascular compression is often associated with trigeminal neuralgia, other intracranial pathologies can result in compression along the nerve. CASE DESCRIPTION The authors report a case of a patient suffering from a typical left trigemin...

OBJECTIVE A rare case of cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst manifesting as hemifacial spasm (HFS) is reported. The patient is a 42-year-old woman with 10-month history of left HFS. A preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a well-demarcated area, hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, in the left cerebellopontine angle, without contrast enhanc...

BACKGROUND Traditionally, tinnitus accompanied by hemifacial spasm has been considered a type of hyperactive neurovascular compression syndrome that is similar to hemifacial spasm alone because of the anatomically close relationship between the facial nerve and cochlear nerve as well as the hyperactive clinical nature. METHODS Participants were 29 subjects who presented with hemifacial spasm ...
