Correlation of Imageological Findings with Per-Op Findings in Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) is characterized by sharp, electric shock like paroxysmal lancinating pain in the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve on one side. Also characterized by periods of remission and initial response to Carbamazepine. 80 to 90% cases are caused by compression of the trigeminal nerve at the root entry zone by the superior cerebellar artery. 75% of patients will ultimately fail medical therapy require a surgical procedure mainly Microvascular Decompression. There is tendency for spontaneous remission with pain free intervals of weeks or months being characteristic, regardless of treatment. Most of patients are evaluated by MRI Brain CISS Scan 1.5 T study before surgery.so this study involves correlation of imaging findings of TGN with per-op findings to predict pre-op surgical planning, approach, outcome and prognosis.
