Objective A noticeable contact between a blood vessel and the root entry zone (REZ) of the trigeminal nerve (CN V) is considered as the major cause of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) known as neurovascular compression (NVC). Earlier volumetric studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) attempted to prove an atrophy of the affected trigeminal nerves in comparison to the unaffected contralateral trigeminal nerves. They described lower volumes on the affected sides in all their cases and criteria for diagnost... view more»
