Objective: Multiple techniques have been used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), including pharmacotherapy, radiosurgery, rhizotomy and microvascular decompression (MVD). Blood vessels are considered to be the most common cause of offense and compression to trigeminal nerve. We aimed to determine the causes of classic TGN and efficacy of MVD.

Background: The middle meningeal artery (MMA) is the leading supplier of the cranial dura and serves as a donor blood channel in craniotomy and cerebrovascular bypass procedures. However, the complex embryology of the MMA and population differences give rise to several anatomic variations that are of great importance in head injuries pertaining to the petrous and squamous parts of the temporal bone. Similarly, care must be taken to protect the artery during surgical operations that involve the maxillary artery and the vidian nerve.

Understanding the distribution of nerves in the superficial layer of the face and the communication (nerve anastomosis) between them is essential for preventing paralysis during tumor removal and for planning during nerve grafting. However, communication between the peripheral branches of the trigeminal and facial nerves has not been fully elucidated owing to the delicacy of their structures and the ambiguity of definitions in previous reports. In this study, we used whole-mount nerve staining to differentiate between the two types of interaction between the trigeminal and facial nerves.
