During radiofrequency rhizotomy, electrode depth determines which divisions of the trigeminal nerve will be contacted. V3 is contacted if the electrode is 5mm proximal to the clivus, V2 at the clivus, and V1 when the electrode is 5mm distal to the clivus.

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!

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?
