Amyloidosis is a systemic disease characterized by the accumulation of amyloid protein in multiple organs. Amyloidoma, in contrast, is an uncommon localized form of amyloidosis that presents as a single mass or tumor-like lesion. Primary amyloidoma in the central nervous system is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. Notably, the Gasserian ganglion is the most frequently affected site of amyloidoma in the central nervous system, and progressive trigeminal neuropathy is a characteristic finding. Among these cases, the bilateral occurrence of amyloidoma is exceedingly rare. In this report, we present the case of a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with bilateral trigeminal amyloidoma, confirmed by an endoscopic biopsy via the transsphenoidal approach.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of diffusivity metrics of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) in the assessment of treatment effects.
Methods: MR-DTI examination for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients and the diffusivity metrics of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) were analyzed. Before and after the percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency rhizotomy (PSR) operation, the treatment effect was assessed using pain scores and MR-DTI.

Migraine diagnosis is mainly clinically based on symptomatology. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the ability of pain thresholds to differentiate between women with and without migraines and (2) to determine the ability of clinical, psychological and psychophysical variables to differentiate between women with episodic and chronic migraines. A diagnostic accuracy study was conducted.

Background: People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have a 20-fold higher risk of developing trigeminal neuralgia compared to the general population. Treating trigeminal neuralgia in these patients is particularly challenging due to reduced tolerance and increased side effects from medications. When no neurovascular conflict exist, percutaneous treatments are usually the first option after drug therapy.

Background: Classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by sudden, severe facial pain, typically resulting from a neurovascular conflict affecting the trigeminal nerve. In rare cases, both nerves are affected simultaneously causing bilateral TN (BTN), increasing the complexity of the treatment. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a well-established treatment for TN; however, the experience with immediate consecutive bilateral MVD procedures is limited and requires further evaluation.

Several reports indicate that arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI is useful for the diagnosis, identification of cortical venous reflux, and assessment of therapeutic effect in dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). However, there is no reports indicating the utility of ASL in the identification of venous sinus obstruction. We herein report the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with diplopia and right trigeminal neuralgia due to bilateral cavernous sinus dAVF.
