The Endoscopic Trans-Sinusoidal Trans-Pterygopalatine Route To The Foramen Rotundum Approach In Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment

CONCLUSION: Various surgical procedures have been applied to treat drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia. Nevertheless, their cure rates remain less than anticipated. Recurrences up to 30% have been reported in the literature. In this study, the endoscopic endonasal transmaxillary trans-pterygopalatine route offers a new perspective on the foramen rotundum approach and provides a panoramic and safe view in previously high-risk percutaneous interventions.PMID:34859829 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.30283-20.3
