Excerpt

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a pain syndrome characterized by an intermittent and sharp lancinating one-sided pain in the distribution of trigeminal main branches [1]. Although the pathophysiological mechanism is not fully determined, this condition is likely the result of a vascular compression at the root entry zone (REZ) of trigeminal nerve [2, 3]. Secondary causes of nerve compression include veins, tumors, vascular malformations, aneurysms, and vertebrobasilar artery ectasia [4]. Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) is an uncommon case of TN, only few cases were reported in literature [3‐5]. In these instances, the management of both neuralgia and DAVF is challenging since treatment is required to both relief trigeminal pain and stroke prevention. In this report, we describe a case of DAVF presented with TN which was uniquely treated using a retrograde dual venous approach. …
