To be or not to be a neurovascular conflict: importance of the preoperative identification of the neurovascular conflict in the trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
Romanian Neurosurgery, 2016 Abstract The trigeminal neuralgia caused by neurovascular compression is a neurosurgical pathology requiring the preoperative identification as exact as possible of the neurovascular conflict. In this case, neuroimaging is very useful, as it allows not only the determination of the neurovascular conflict of the trigeminal nerve, but also the ...

Correlation of Trigeminopontine Angle with Severity of Trigeminal Neuralgia due to Neurovascular Conflict over Medial Aspect of Nerve: Can We Prognosticate the Reduction in Pain in Patients on Medical Management? [PDF]
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2022 Background Neurovascular conflicts (NVCs) are one of the major causative factors in patients presenting with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). We found a wide range of variation in degrees of acute angle formed between medial border of trigeminal nerve and ...

Unilateral pure trigeminal motor neuropathy and neurovascular conflict [PDF]
National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2022 Sensory disturbances are usual manifestations of trigeminal neuropathy, but only a few cases of isolated unilateral pure trigeminal motor neuropathy were reported. We describe a rare case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with a 4-year history of progressive facial asymmetry and chewing weakness which was ...

Rickettsial fever leading to upper disphagya: A rare neurovascular conflict between vertebral artery and glossopharyngeal nerve [PDF]
IDCases, 2021 Rickettsial fevers are a common type of zoonosis with potential neurological involvement, mostly in form of meningoencephalitis. However, there are some rare cases that could compromise cranial nerves function through vascular inflammation. In this paper,

Trigeminal Neuralgia Due to Neurovascular Conflict: A Case Report [PDF]
CureusA 47-year-old female patient visited the outpatient department with the complaint of "sharp shooting, radiating type of pain" on the maxillary left posterior gingiva for the last three months. The patient was advised a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan which gave the radiological diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Neurovascular compression from a tortuous vertebrobasilar system. Technical note on surgical anatomy and cisternal microdissection [PDF]
Acta NeurochirurgicaBackground Microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) typically entails mobilisation of the superior cerebellar artery or adjacent veins. Rarely, symptomatic compression arises from a tortuous vertebrobasilar system. These cases are

Targeting neurovascular conflict in atypical vagal-glossopharyngeal neuralgia: illustrative case [PDF]
Journal of Neurosurgery: Case LessonsBACKGROUND Vagal-glossopharyngeal neuralgia (VGPN) represents a rare and often misdiagnosed condition. Compared to the more common trigeminal neuralgia, its clinical picture is more heterogeneous due to the multiple functions exerted by the rootlets involved; indeed, presentation may include dysphagia, dysphonia,
