Central Vein Sign and Trigeminal Lesions of Multiple Sclerosis Visualized by 7.0T MRI
Motivation: Multiple sclerosis patients are more vulnerable to trigeminal neuralgia, but the mechanism behind this nerve injury is still unclear. Goal(s): We aim to investigate trigeminal nerve involvement in MS and provide insight into pathology. Approach: 120 patients underwent 7.0 T multi-modality MRI scans. T1-MPRAGE, T2-FLAIR, FLAWS-MP2RAGE, and T2*W images were collected. Results: Our study confirmed the high prevalence of trigeminal nerve on 7.0 T MRI and highlighted the presence of a central vein sign in trigeminal nerve lesions. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology and location-specific nature of trigeminal lesions. Impact: This finding reinforces that trigeminal nerve involvement represents a characteristic of MS lesions, which has the potential for precising diagnosis in the future.
