This case reported a 78-year-old male patient presented with combined trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, which is a rare finding and seldom addressed. Magnetic resonance imaging examination showed compression of right N.V by the right superior cerebellar artery (SCA) but did not prove any compression on the right N.VII. This patient is treated with microvascular decompression, and we found out compression of right N.V by right SCA and N.VII from the right anterior inferior cerebellar artery. Postoperatively, the symptoms were resolved with transient hypoesthesia and no recurrence after 1-year follow-up.
该病例报告了一名78岁男性患者,同时患有三叉神经痛和面肌痉挛,这一情况较为罕见且鲜有报道。磁共振成像检查显示右侧小脑上动脉(SCA)压迫右侧三叉神经(N.V),但未证实右侧面神经(N.VII)受到任何压迫。该患者接受了微血管减压术,术中我们发现右侧SCA压迫右侧N.V,右侧小脑前下动脉压迫N.VII。术后,症状得到缓解,出现短暂感觉减退,随访1年无复发。
