My neuralgia is firing off - AGAIN!!!!

Trying to take it easy, but still doing things so I'm not just curled up on my bed

For microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, I specifically insert a piece of shredded Teflon along the shoulder & medial axilla of the nerve & gently push it distally to prevent contact between the vessel & the root entry zone or brainstem

During microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, careful arachnoid dissection and correct CN identification are paramount. Care must be taken to preserve all of the vessels around the brainstem.

Spell gone wrong! 34m of silliness for while coming down from a nasty flare-up of trigeminal neuralgia. Can I be a frog too? I bet they don’t even HAVE a trigeminal nerve. 😑

American neurosurgeon Peter Jannetta (1932-2016) was dissecting cranial nerves in the lab when he noticed a blood vessel pressing on a nerve. This led to a microvascular decompression operation for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and other vascular compression syndromes!

Deep ear pain can be a sign of geniculate neuralgia. Successful dissection & transection of the nervus intermedius, which can be found between CNs VII & VIII, is important. What deficits could patients potentially have following this procedure?

Neurovascular conflict for cranial nerve compression syndromes can include arteries and veins. Which artery is the most common culprit in trigeminal neuralgia? What about in hemifacial spasm?

Blue arrow demonstrates the supralateral cerebellar approach for microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. Green arrow demonstrates the infralateral cerebellar or infrafloccular approach for hemifacial spasm.

This month I haven't been as active as I had hoped with personal artwork, because I was diagnosed with the dehibilitating trigemenal neuralgia. I did manage to put this together, even if a day late :) Happy (belated) Halloween 💖🎃

The Tegretol my wife takes for Trigeminal neuralgia is losing effectiveness... :(
Hoping the experts can help.
