A case of trigeminal neuralgia attributed to basilar artery dolichoectasia is described. Underlying vascular malformations and tumors of the cerebellopontine angle can be detected in patients with trigeminal neuralgia by means of noninvasive techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; such diagnostic tools are therefore indicated in patients with trigeminal neuralgia to discard possible central nervous disorders.
本文描述了一例由基底动脉延长扩张症引起的三叉神经痛病例。通过计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像等非侵入性技术,可以在三叉神经痛患者中检测到潜在的血管畸形和桥小脑角肿瘤;因此,对于三叉神经痛患者,建议使用此类诊断工具以排除可能的中枢神经系统疾病。
