MRI images of the vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve (a, green arrow) and the facial nerve (b, green arrow) roots by the dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar arteries (red arrows)
Source publication
Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) of Gasserian ganglion has been popularly used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN), one of the most painful syndromes in human experience. Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare cause of TN and remains challenging to treat. To our knowledge, no study has reported the therapeutic outcome of PBC for VBD-re...

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) and posterior cranial fossa (PCF) space.
Methods:
The medical records and imaging data of patients with VBD and control group were collected from June 2021 to June 2022 in the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province. All patients with VBD were graded by head...
To investigate the incidence and impact of superior cerebellar artery (SCA) occlusion remaining after thrombectomy for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We retrospectively analyzed data from 116 patients who underwent thrombectomy for BAO. The patency of SCA was assessed on final angiograms. Clinical and radiologic data of the patients were ret...
Objective
To analyze how wall enhancement affects hemodynamics and cerebral ischemic risk factors in vertebrobasilar non-saccular intracranial aneurysms (VBNIAs).
Materials and methods
Ten consecutive non-saccular aneurysms were collected, including three transitional vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (TVBD). A wall enhancement model was quantitative...
