ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the relationship between trigeminal neuralgia and various nerve compression sites. Methods Forty patients with trigeminal neuralgia were enrolled in this study. The upper and lower jaw patients were treated as observation group (20 cases), and eye branch or one branch pain patients were as the control group (20 cases). Two groups of patients were treated with microvascular decompression, position of responsible vascular of the two groups of patients was analyzed and explored. Results Compared with the control group, the patients in the observation group had more blood vessels, and the oppression rate of the trigeminal tract was higher than that of the control group:80%(16/20) vs. 30% (6/20) (P<0.05). Conclusions The relationship between trigeminal neuralgia with different facial position and the location of nerve compression is different.
