Abstract EN
We presented a case of drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia attributed to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia, a rare condition characterized by enlargement, tortuosity, or elongation of intracranial arteries.
Dolichoectatic vessels can cause dysfunction of cranial nerves through direct vascular compression.
The relationships of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia with the particularities of neurovascular conflict and images findings are discussed.
