Location of the abducens nerve stretched by a tortuous vertebrobasilar artery in trigeminal neuralgia.
Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) caused by the vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) is uncommon. The abducens nerve root is frequently dislocated by a tortuous VBA near the trigeminal nerve root. This unusual location of the root is not well known. This study aimed to investigate the location of the stretched abducens nerve root.
