Abstract

Neurovascular conflict syndrome is the most frequent cause of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in adult. Imaging methods, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a crucial role in diagnosis as well as guilding preoperative plan. Treatment options in TN due to neurovascular conflict include medications and surgery, in which many studies demonstrated the effectiveness of surgical treatment. We introduced a case of trigeminal neuralgia causing by neurovascular conflict which was diagnosed by MRI and the patient had good recovery from microvascular decompression surgery.
