INTRODUCTION: Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful neuropathic disorder characterized by sudden electric shock–like pain that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Multiple treatment alternatives are available, including medical and surgical options but establishing the optimal course of action...
Objective The aim of the present study was to describe and evaluate the initial and
the long-term clinical outcome of internal neurolysis (IN) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN)
without neurovascular compression (NVC).
Methods A total of 170 patients diagnosed with TN were treated by posterior fossa
explorati...
ABSTRACT Background: About 50% of patients that suffer from trigeminal neuralgia do not experience sustained benefit from the use of oral medication. For their adequate management, a few surgical procedures are available. Of these, percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) and microvascular decompression ...
Introduction Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors represent an important cause of
persistent and refractory trigeminal neuralgia (TN). It is believed that between 1 and
9.9% of the cases of patients presenting with TN painful manifestation are caused by
space-occupying lesions.
Objective The objective of...
Resumen Objetivo: La neuralgia del trigémino (NT) es un trastorno neuropático susceptible de tratamiento quirúrgico. El objetivo es presentar los hallazgos quirúrgicos y resultados obtenidos en 26 pacientes con NT, tratados mediante un abordaje asterional mínimamente invasivo para descompresión va...
Summary Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a bone disorder that can lead to skull base deformities such as basilar invagination, which can cause compression of cranial nerves, including the trigeminal nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia in such cases remains a challenge, given distorted anatomy and deformities. We ...
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) is a common pain disease in elderly people. Many methods have been used to alleviate the pain of patients, but few studies in the literature have compared the effect of nerve combing and percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation.
