Trigeminal nerve transposition by sling-pulling technique in combination with macrovascular transposition for giant basilar artery–induced trigeminal neuralgia via a combined transpetrosal approach
The gigantic DBA-induced TGN can be safely and effectively treated through CN5 transposition combined with DBA transposition, resulting in a permanent contactless TGN-REZ and favorable long-term pain relief. Preoperative counseling regarding the risk of CTPA-related complications is essential, taking into account the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
