Magnetic resonance imaging findings: A key to unravel true diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia

Key Points

• Magnetic resonance imaging findings significantly aid in diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia, clarifying underlying causes.
• Key evidence shows MRI can identify nerve compression in a majority of patients, improving diagnosis rates.
• This analysis uses observational data to compare MRI results against clinical diagnoses of trigeminal neuralgia.
• Findings support the need for MRI in routine evaluations, suggesting better targeted interventions for nerve-related pain.
