A systematic review on persistent trigeminal artery, in searching for a therapeutic solution to idiopathic and unresponsive trigeminal nerve inflammations and migraines. J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2019 Nov-Dec;33(6 Suppl. 2):155-169 Authors: DENTAL SUPPLEMENT, Gargiulo Isacco C, Ballini A, Paduanelli G, Nguyen KCD, Schiffman M, Aityan SK, Tapparo O, Khoa N, Dipalma G, Inchingolo F, Tran TC Abstract The rarely diagnosed persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) originates from the posterior bend or lateral wall of the intracavernous carotid artery and is the most common occurring type of remnant primitive fetal arteries. Even if PTA is uncommon, information and awareness about it could be of great help for clinicians dealing with cranial vascular imaging and operating this region. In addition, it could give a supporting response to the presence of a wide range of idiopathic and unresponsive disturbs that sometimes are erroneously interpreted and treated. There are very few published scientific reports of coexisting PTA and unilateral trigeminal neuralgia and migraine-cephalgia (MC). In this review we describe few reported and unreported cases regarding the manifestation of unresponsive trigeminal neuralgia and migraine due to the presence of PTA. Patients usually present with a clinical symptomatology with unstable blood hypertension, pain of typical trigeminal neuralgia and MC that cover unilaterally the occipital area over the second and...
