Spinal trigeminal nucleus lesions in trigeminal zoster-associated neuralgia: A retrospective cohort study on diagnostic value and prognostic factors
= 0.017).ConclusionsSTN lesions are highly specific for TZAN and may serve as an auxiliary diagnostic indicator. STN hyperintensity is most prominent in elderly TZAN patients in the subacute phase, potentially acting as a subacute-phase imaging marker. Early intervention in subacute TZAN may be critical for improving prognosis.
