Changes in the muscles of mastication before and after primary stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia.
Abstract
The motor root of the trigeminal nerve runs close to the sensory root and receives considerable radiation during Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The object of this study was to evaluate via MRI the changes in the muscles of mastication before and after upfront GKRS in patients with idiopathic TN.
