A patient with trigeminal neuralgia caused by direct compression by an elongated basilar artery of the 5th nerve at the zone of entry of its sensory root into the pons is presented. Rhizotomy of the portio major is a treatment of choice in such a case instead of simple microsurgical decompression. The elongated basilar artery is very firm and not readily movable with manipulation.
本文报告了一名因基底动脉延长直接压迫三叉神经感觉根进入脑桥处而导致三叉神经痛的患者。在这种情况下，主要神经根切断术是首选治疗方法，而非单纯的显微手术减压。延长的基底动脉非常坚硬，手术操作时不易移动。
