Patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (iTN) absent arterial contact or venous contact only and classical trigeminal neuralgia (cTN) with morphologic changes of the trigeminal nerve secondary to venous compression are not routinely recommended microvascular decompression at our institution. In patients with these anatomical subtypes of TN, limited data exists describing the outcomes of percutaneous glycerol rhizolysis (PGR) of the trigeminal ganglion (TG).
