AI Article Synopsis
- - Persistent trigeminal artery disease is a common type of persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis, often found unilaterally and detected through imaging methods like MRA and angioCT.
- - While it can cause symptoms such as headaches or nerve palsies, it frequently remains asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally.
- - A case is presented involving a young woman who found out she had this malformation during an MRA after suffering from persistent headaches that did not improve with treatment.
Article Abstract
Persistent trigeminal artery disease is one of the most common types of persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomoses. Usually, it is unilateral, and it can be discovered with a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (angioCT), or classic angiography exam. It can be associated with non-specific symptoms, such as headaches, or more specific ones, such as III or VI nerve palsy or trigeminal neuralgia, but most of the time it goes undetected, being an incidental finding and not causing any symptoms. On MRA and angioCT, it has the characteristic "tau" sign. We present the case of a young woman who, incidentally, discovered this malformation after undergoing an MRA. She had been experiencing a persistent headache without a known cause, which did not improve despite medication.

Methods: A drug-targeted MR study was performed for gout by integrating the gout genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary data and cis expression quantitative trait loci of 2,633 druggable genes from multiple cohorts. Summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analyses based on transcript and protein levels were further implemented to validate the reliability of the identified potential therapeutic targets for gout.
