Trigeminal nerve transposition by sling-pulling technique in combination with macrovascular transposition for giant basilar artery–induced trigeminal neuralgia via a combined transpetrosal approach

Puntos clave

Evaluate the effectiveness of trigeminal nerve transposition combined with macrovascular transposition for treating trigeminal neuralgia.
Conducted a combined transpetrosal surgical approach
Performed trigeminal nerve transposition
Implemented basilar artery transposition
Achieved permanent contactless trigeminal neuralgia root entry zone (TGN-REZ)
Provided long-term pain relief and improved patient outcomes

Resumen

The gigantic DBA-induced TGN can be safely and effectively treated through CN5 transposition combined with DBA transposition, resulting in a permanent contactless TGN-REZ and favorable long-term pain relief. Preoperative counseling regarding the risk of CTPA-related complications is essential, taking into account the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
