Trigeminal neuralgia and persistent trigeminal artery

We report a case of trigeminal neuralgia caused by persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) associated with asymptomatic left temporal cavernoma. Our patient presented unstable blood hypertension and the pain of typical trigeminal neuralgia over the second and third divisions of the nerve in the right side of the face. The attacks were often precipitated during physical exertion. MRI and Angio-MRI revealed the persistent carotid basilar anastomosis and occasionally left parietal cavernoma. After drug treatment of blood hypertension, spontaneous recovery of neuralgia was observed and we planned surgical treatment of left temporal cavernoma

Tumor Recurrence: Postoperative MR Follow-Up in Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma

Patient with posterior left temporal anaplastic oligoastrocytoma treated with surgery and subsequent radiation. Postoperative and postradiation therapy follow-up performed late (6, 15, and 24 months) with MR morphologic and perfusion sequences

Late Radionecrosis: Postoperative and Postradiation Therapy Follow-Up in Meningioma

Patients with previous surgery of a right frontal meningioma subsequently irradiated. Postoperative and postradiation therapy follow-up performed late (3 and 4 years) with MR morphologic and perfusion sequences

Late Complications: Abscess-Postoperative MR Follow-Up in Glioblastoma Multiforme

Patient with surgically treated right fronto-parieto-temporal glioblastoma multiforme. Late postoperative MR imaging with morphologic sequences and diffusion-weighted imaging

Tumor Recurrence: Postoperative MR Follow-Up in Grade III Oligodendroglioma

Patient with surgically treated grade III left fronto-parietal oligodendroglioma. Postoperative follow-up performed late (9 months) with MR morphologic sequences
