Dyna-CT-assisted percutaneous microballoon compression (PMC) improves foramen ovale (FO) cannulation for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). This technique offers better visualization and control, leading to pain relief and a good prognosis for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Percutaneous microballoon compression (PMC) is a standard treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
  • Challenges in cannulating the foramen ovale (FO) can lead to complications.
  • Dyna-CT imaging offers a novel approach to assist PMC procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dyna-CT-assisted PMC for trigeminal neuralgia.
  • To assess the accuracy of FO cannulation and balloon placement using Dyna-CT.
  • To determine the impact of Dyna-CT on procedural outcomes and patient prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Dyna-CT-assisted PMC was performed in 16 patients with TN.
  • Optimal projections and fluoroscopic data were used for needle guidance during FO cannulation.

  • Dyna-CT verified balloon position, 3D shape, volume, and puncture angle.

    • Main Results:

    • Dyna-CT facilitated quick, safe, and accurate FO cannulation.
    • Three-dimensional imaging provided superior visualization compared to conventional methods.
    • All patients achieved pain relief post-procedure, with a low incidence of temporary complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Dyna-CT enhances FO visualization, needle guidance, and balloon assessment during PMC.
    • This technique improves procedural safety and reliability for TN treatment.
    • Dyna-CT-assisted PMC demonstrates a low complication rate and favorable patient outcomes.
