Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) poses diagnostic challenges due to its complex origins, often associated with neurovascular compression. Advanced imaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition (FIESTA) sequence, offer crucial insights into TN pathophysiology. This prospective cross-sectional observational study aimed to elucidate MRI's utility in diagnosing TN and correlating imaging findings with clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes. A cohort of 41 patients clinically suspected of TN underwent MRI evaluation at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, utilizing various sequences including FIESTA. Analysis revealed a higher incidence among females, predominant unilateral presentation, and a higher prevalence of abnormal MRI findings, with neurovascular compression as the leading etiology. Correlation analysis demonstrated significant associations between facial pain localized to the trigeminal nerve distribution, triggering factors, and abnormal MRI findings. Gender distribution did not significantly influence MRI findings. Treatment outcomes favored microvascular surgery over conservative management in cases of neurovascular compression. This study underscores MRI's pivotal role, particularly FIESTA, in TN evaluation, guiding personalized treatment strategies and emphasizing the importance of integrated clinical and imaging approaches. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore additional imaging modalities for a deeper understanding of TN pathogenesis.
三叉神经痛(TN)因其复杂的病因常常与神经血管压迫相关,从而带来了诊断挑战。先进的成像技术,特别是采用稳态采集快速成像(FIESTA)序列的磁共振成像(MRI),为TN的病理生理学提供了关键见解。这项前瞻性横断面观察性研究旨在阐明MRI在诊断TN以及将影像学表现与临床表现和治疗结果相关联方面的效用。在沃德哈索万吉(梅赫)的阿查里亚·维诺巴·巴韦农村医院,对41名临床疑似TN的患者进行了MRI评估,使用了包括FIESTA在内的各种序列。分析显示女性发病率较高,主要为单侧发病,MRI异常表现的患病率较高,神经血管压迫是主要病因。相关性分析表明,局限于三叉神经分布区域的面部疼痛、触发因素与MRI异常表现之间存在显著关联。性别分布对MRI表现没有显著影响。在神经血管压迫的病例中,治疗结果显示微血管手术优于保守治疗。这项研究强调了MRI,特别是FIESTA,在TN评估中的关键作用,指导个性化治疗策略,并强调了综合临床和影像学方法的重要性。有必要进行进一步研究以验证这些发现,并探索其他成像方式以更深入地了解TN的发病机制。
