Abstract

The diagnosis of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) in radiology lacks the gold standard and largely depends on the identification of neurovascular compression (NVC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) water imaging sequences. However, relying on this imaging sign alone often fails to accurately distinguish the symptomatic side of the nerve from asymptomatic nerves, and may even lead to incorrect diagnoses. Therefore, it is essential to develop a more effective diagnostic tool to aid radiologists in the diagnosis of TN.
