The practical limits of high-quality magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis and classification of trigeminal neuralgia.
Abstract
Neurovascular compression (NVC) has been the primary hypothesis for the underlying mechanism of classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, a substantial body of literature has emerged highlighting notable exceptions to this hypothesis. The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability and diagnostic accuracy of high resolution, high contrast MRI-determined neurovascular contact for TN.
