Correlation Between Meckel’s Cave Size and lohexol Dosage in Percutaneous Microballoon Compression for Trigeminal Neuralgia of Aged Patients
The equation (iohexol dosage = 0.54336 + 0.00060286 x MC Volume - 0.05654 x BNI_1) yields a value at which operations have a very high success rate, regardless of whether the patients have received previous TN treatment. The equation can be used to guide the intraoperative usage of iohexol and to help surgeons without sufficient surgical experience for predicting patients' prognoses.
