Trigeminal nerve anatomy; Illustrated using examples from Imaging Pathology

The trigeminal nerve is traced from its nuclei to peripheral branches through imaging examples of pathology along its course.
Already have an account?

Description

Clinical patterns of trigeminal dysfunction are related to imaging technique and detailed anatomy. The peripheral divisions, trigeminal ganglion, cisternal segment, neurovascular conflict, and brainstem nuclei illustrate how lesion location shapes the differential diagnosis.

Learning Objectives

  • Select appropriate imaging techniques for suspected trigeminal nerve disease.
  • Trace the trigeminal nerve from its nuclei and cisternal segment to the ganglion and peripheral branches.
  • Localise pathology and recognise imaging patterns of neurovascular conflict and other trigeminal lesions.
