Correlation of Trigeminopontine Angle with Severity of Trigeminal Neuralgia due to Neurovascular Conflict over Medial Aspect of Nerve: Can We Prognosticate the Reduction in Pain in Patients on Medical Management?

Correlation of Trigeminopontine Angle with Severity of Trigeminal Neuralgia due to Neurovascular Conflict over Medial Aspect of Nerve: Can We Prognosticate the Reduction in Pain in Patients on Medical Management?

Background Neurovascular conflicts (NVCs) are one of the major causative factors in patients presenting with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). We found a wide range of variation in degrees of acute angle formed between medial border of trigeminal nerve and anterior border of pons in patients with TN, i.e.,...
