[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of 3D-TOF and 3D-FIESTA for preoperative assessment in microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.Materials and Methods: 187 cases of primary trigeminal neuralgia underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) of Xiangya Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, the 3D-TOF and 3D-FIESTA findings preoperative and the intraoperative exploration results were compared.Results: 3D-TOF and 3D-FIESTA identified surgically verified neuro-vascular compression in 173 of 187 (92.3%) symptomatic nerves. Neurovascular compression was observed in 29 of 187 (16%) of asymptomatic nerves, 179 cases (95.6%) which neurovascular compression (NVC) were observed during operation underwent MVD: 73 cases (40.8%) with SCA, 28 cases (15.4%) with AICA, 5 cases (3.2%) with PICA, 17 caces with BA (9.8%), 35 cases (20.2%) with compounding compression, 11 cases (6.2%) with vein. 3D-TOF and 3D-FIESTA were not identified in 14 cases (7.7%), of which NVC 10 cases (58.8%) weren't observed during operation underwent trigeminal rhizotomy. Before operations, the 187 cases findings of 3D-TOF combined with 3D FIESTA sequence demonstrated that 173 in 187 (92.3%) were neuro-vascular compression which were ipsolateral with the symoptoms. The procedures of microvascular decompression revealed that 179 in 187 (95.6%) were neuro-vascular compression, including that 73 (40.8%) cases with SCA, 35 (20.2%) cases with combined compression, 28 (15.4%) cases with AICA, 17 (9.8%) cases with BA, 11 (6.2%) cases with vein, 5 (3.2%) cases with PICA.Conclusions: 3D-TOF and 3D-FIESTA combined with 3-D MPR which can clearly display spatial relationship of trigeminal nerve and around vessels is an effective method for preoperative assessment in microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.
