Morphological analysis of the trigeminal nerve in trigeminal neuralgia using the nerve’s centerline and multiple cross-sections of a 3D model
It is possible to analyze the morphological changes of the trigeminal nerve by using this method. In the preoperative trigeminal nerve on the affected side, the centerline is long and curved, and the cross-sectional area is small and flat. Further analyses may help clarify the pathophysiology, aid in diagnoses, and predict the efficacy of treatment.
