We report an unusual cause of symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia related to a spontaneous bleeding of the gasserian ganglion mimicking a lesion. A differential diagnosis need to be performed with an hemorrhagic trigeminal shwannoma or a bleeding due to microarteriovenous malformation in the Meckel’s cavum to avoid unnecessary surgery.

A differential diagnosis need to be performed with an hemorrhagic trigeminal shwannoma or a bleeding due to microarteriovenous malformation in the Meckel’s cavum to avoid unnecessary surgery.File in questo prodotto:
