To evaluate the roles of neuronavigation-assisted percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy in patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
Neuronavigation technique was applied in 12 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy for their primary TN.
Neuronavigation assistance ensured precise puncture of oval foramen and successful targeting of trigeminal nerve ganglion in all 12 patients during percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy and resulted in 100% of acute cure rate of TN without major complications.
Neuronavigation is a very useful tool during percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy in patients with primary TN.
评估神经导航辅助下经皮射频热凝术治疗原发性三叉神经痛(TN)患者的作用。
对12例接受原发性TN经皮射频热凝术治疗的连续患者应用神经导航技术。
在经皮射频热凝术治疗期间,神经导航辅助确保了所有12例患者卵圆孔的精确穿刺以及三叉神经节的成功靶向定位,TN急性治愈率达100%,且无严重并发症。
神经导航是原发性TN患者经皮射频热凝术治疗期间非常有用的工具。
