    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Trigeminal neuralgia and other conditions require targeted treatment.
    • Accessing the trigeminal nerve via the foramen ovale is a common approach.
    • Existing techniques can be complex and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, simple, safe, and rapid radiologic technique for trigeminal puncture.
    • To facilitate accurate needle placement via the foramen ovale under fluoroscopic guidance.
    • To reduce procedure time and the need for multiple needle passes.

    Main Methods:

    • A radiopaque marker is placed 3 cm lateral to the labial commissure.
    • Patient's head is turned under fluoroscopic guidance until the marker aligns with the foramen ovale.
    • Needle is advanced along the safe anatomical line determined by the foramen ovale and puncture site.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for accurate needle advancement along a predetermined safe path.
    • Misalignment is readily detected and corrected using fluoroscopic guidance.
    • The procedure is learned easily and takes less than 5 minutes, obviating multiple needle passes.

    Conclusions:

    • This fluoroscopically guided technique offers a simple, safe, and rapid method for trigeminal puncture.
    • It enhances accuracy and efficiency in accessing the trigeminal nerve via the foramen ovale.
    • The technique is suitable for clinical application in pain management and neurosurgical procedures.
