Objective: Neuronavigation improves intraoperative visualization of the cranial structures,
which is valuable in percutaneous surgical treatments for patients with trigeminal neuralgia …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous rhizotomy of the trigeminal nerve is a common surgery to
manage medically refractory trigeminal neuralgia. Traditionally, these procedures have …

Purpose The formation of pterygoalar (Pa) and pterygospinous (Ps) bars are controversial
whether they are secondary ossifications with aging or phylogenetic remnant. Therefore we …

Background Percutaneous rhizotomy of the Gasserian ganglion is a well-established
intervention for patients suffering from refractory trigeminal pain, not amenable to …

Background Thermic rhizolysis is a reliable therapy for pharmaco‐resistant trigeminal
neuralgia (TN). Temperature, duration of electrocautery and needle location can influence …

Percutaneous rhizotomy is a cornerstone of trigeminal neuralgia treatment. The procedure is
classically performed under intermittent fluoroscopic guidance. While frameless navigation …

METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of all patients undergoing percutaneous
trigeminal rhizotomy for TN at our academic center between January 1, 2010, and July 31 …

Endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeries require the use of precise neuronavigation
techniques, which may take advantage of accurate delimitation of surrounding structures …

Objective Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating syndrome characterized by paroxysmal
facial pain in one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. The etiology and treatment …

ABSTRACT AIM: To present the ability of standard intraoperative neuronavigation to reliably
identify the stylomastoid foramen, thus providing a quick and effective recognition of the …
