Abstract
Background; Trigeminal Neuralgia: It is a syndrome characterised by recurrent sudden & usually unilateral severe brief stabbing. One & more branches of 5th cranial nerve are causing pain. It is painful, brief experience. Pain can occur spontaneously & be triggered by innocuous stimuli like yawning, chewing, light touch, & other transmitted stimuli. & divided by different lengths of pain-free intervals,
Aim and objectives; to assess effectiveness of Different Modalities in studied cases with trigeminal neuralgia,
Subjects & methods; This research Was showed on group of 20 patients having trigeminal neuralgia manged by different modalities, percutaneous radiofrecuency , microvascular decompression , perephiral neurectomy and nerve block . This study was conducted on patients with variant ages at the time of diagnosis, presenting with trigeminal neuralgia, admitted and managed at neurosurgery- Functional unit -Faculty of medicine Al-Azhar University From 2017 To 2021,
Result; The description of of radiologiucal findings by MRI FIESTA. The major finding was no loop compassing (50%) in patients followed by Arterial loop compassing trigeminal nerve (35%).Most of the patients had V1, V2, V3 affected in 70% of the patients, and 20% of the patients had V2, V3 affected, The major surgery done was Radiofrequency (40%) followed by MVD (30%),
Conclusion; females were more frequently impacted by TN than males. All of studied procedures particularly MVD and RF were safe & influence in cure of TN.
