en 3D FIESTA MRI for trigeminal neuralgia diagnostic tools : A case report Radiation Biology Radiation Biology مطالعه موردي Case Report <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe condition presented with abrupt pain in the area innervated by one or more branches of the fifth cranial nerve. The pain is usually described as sudden, unilateral, severe, brief, stabbing, and recurrent sensation. Case Description: A 60-year-old female with a left-sided facial has had pain for two years.  She was referred by a neurosurgeon diagnosed as having left stabbing pain that radiated down the distribution of the third-division trigeminal nerve. An MRI 1.5T with conventional and high-resolution protocols used the sequences three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D MRI) study included fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition. According to the ability of 3D-FIESTA MRI, it is used to demonstrate the anatomy of the trigeminal complex. The 3D FIESTA sequence has the ability to demonstrate the compression and displacement of the nerve. Conclusion: 3D FIESTA MRI is a useful tool to assess the trigeminal system and may describe the recent understanding pathology of TN.</div> 3D FIESTA Magnetic Resonance Imaging, neuropathic pain, trigeminal neuralgia. 255 258 http://ijrr.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-1321&slc_lang=en&sid=1 H.
