Different MRI-based methods for the diagnosis of neurovascular compression in trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm: A network meta-analysis.
Abstract
Accurate preoperative diagnosis of neurovascular compression (NVC) is crucial in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or hemifacial spasm (HFS). At present, there are many magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based methods for diagnosing NVC in clinical practice. This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of different MRI-based imaging methods for NVC in patients with TN and HFS.
