Analyzing the risk factors of unilateral trigeminal neuralgia under neurovascular compression

ConclusionOur findings suggest that the side of NVC, the compressing vessel, and the microstructure of the cisternal segment of CN V are associated with the risk of C-ITN. Furthermore, microstructural changes observed in the cisternal segment of CN V on the unaffected side of C-ITN patients with NVC indicate possible indirect effects on the CN V to some extent.
