BACKGROUND: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is caused by trigeminal nerve compression by colliding vessels. Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) multifusion images are useful for surgical simulations. Moreover, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of colliding vessels may be useful for hemodynamic evaluation at the site of neurovascular contact (NVC).
OBSERVATIONS: A 71-year-old woman had TN due to compression of the trigeminal nerve by the superior cerebellar artery (SCA) fused with the persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PTA). Preoperative 3D multifusion simulation images of silent magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and MR cisternography depicted the NVC, including the trigeminal nerve, SCA, and PTA. CFD analysis revealed the hemodynamic condition of the NVC, including the SCA and PTA. The wall shear stress magnitude (WSSm) at the NVC showed a local elevation due to flow confluence from the SCA and PTA. High WSSm was observed in the NVC.
LESSONS: Preoperative simulation images of MR angiography and MR cisternography may depict the NVC. CFD analysis can provide the hemodynamic condition at the NVC.
