A stereotaxic apparatus was designed which would enable a needle to be passed easily through the foramen ovale with accuracy and with a minimum of radiological aid by one relatively unskilled in injection of the trigeminal ganglion. Successful penetration of the foramen was achieved in 39 of 46 injections on cadavers and in six injections on five patients. The substance injected was 5% phenol in glycerin. In one patient alcohol was used. The anesthesia produced was satisfactory in all except one patient. We feel that this apparatus will enable the trigeminal ganglion to be injected relatively easily in all patients except those with unusually shaped skulls.
设计了一种立体定向装置，该装置能使一根针在对三叉神经节注射不太熟练的人操作下，在最少的放射学辅助下，轻松、准确地穿过卵圆孔。在对尸体的46次注射中有39次成功穿透卵圆孔，在5名患者身上进行的6次注射也成功穿透。注射的物质是5%的酚甘油。有一名患者使用的是酒精。除一名患者外，其余患者产生的麻醉效果均令人满意。我们认为，除了那些颅骨形状异常的患者外，这种装置能使所有患者相对轻松地进行三叉神经节注射。
