Aural complications of foramen ovale procedures for trigeminal neuralgia: anatomical study and literature review
The trigeminal nerve supplies both the tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini muscles and percutaneous procedures may, therefore, lead to aural symptoms. Also, the path of the needle is close to the Eustachian tube and can be punctured during these procedures. The authors recommend discussing aural complications during consent for these procedures.
