Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between trigeminal neuralgia and site of trigeminal nerve compression.Methods:The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and clinical symptoms of 50 cases with trigeminal nerve compression were retrospectively analysed.Results:In 40 of 50 patients who were trigeminal neuralgia.Thirty-fives (87.5%) of 40 patients with NVC at the site of the REZ,5 (12.5%) of 40 patients with NVC at the site of the PGS.In 10 patients who were not trigeminal neuralgia,4 (40%) of them with NVC at the site of the REZ,3 (30%) at site of the PGS and other 3 (30%) at the site of the REZ.Conclusion:A close relationship isfound between the neuralgic manifestation and the REZ site of trigeminal nerve compression.
