Computed Tomography-Based Evaluation of Foramen Ovale Morphology in Chiari Type 1 Malformation and Trigeminal Neuralgia

Puntos clave

• To evaluate the morphology of the foramen ovale in patients with Chiari Type 1 Malformation and trigeminal neuralgia compared to controls.
• Computed tomography was used to assess foramen ovale diameters.
• Comparative analysis was conducted between patients with Chiari malformation, trigeminal neuralgia, and healthy controls.
• Patients with Chiari malformation and trigeminal neuralgia displayed significantly smaller foramen ovale diameters.
• The findings indicate a structural predisposition that may contribute to trigeminal neuralgia development.
