Abstract

Trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) is the most common form of cranial neuralgia. Various safe and effective surgical treatment alternatives for TN now exist, such as percutaneous, controlled radiofrequency trigeminal rhizotomy. Herein, the effectiveness of percutaneous, controlled radiofrequency trigeminal rhizotomy (RF) is evaluated. Our experience regarding bilateral TN cases and patients who have TN secondary to multiple sclerosis is also discussed. Percutaneous, controlled RF presents a minimally invasive, low-risk technique with a high rate of efficacy. The procedure may safely be repeated if pain recurs. RF and Microvascular Decompression (MVD) are the prominent procedures in order to relieve trigeminal neuralgia. On the other hand, the superiority of one to the other has not yet been proven. The various procedures should not be alternatives but should complement each other.

Özet

Trigeminal nevralji (TN) kraniyal nevraljilerin en sık görülen formudur. TN için perkütan, kontrollü radyofrekans rizotomi gibi birçok alternatif güvenli ve etkili cerrahi tedavi seçeneği vardır. Yazıda, kontrollü radyofrekans trigeminal rizotomi (RF) uygulamasının etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca bilateral TN ve multiple skleroza sekonder TN olgu serilerimizdeki deneyimlerimiz aktarılmaktadır. Perkütan, kontrollü radyofrekans trigeminal rizotomi minimal invazif, göreceli düşük riskli tekniği ile yüksek oranda etkin bir uygulamadır. Ağrının tekrarı durumunda uygulama güvenli bir şekilde tekrarlanabilir. Mikrovaskuler dekompresyon (MVD) ve RF medikal tedaviye dirençli trigeminal nevralji tedavisinde önde gelen girişimlerdir. Bununla birlikte, aşağıda belirtilen geniş serilerden de anlaşılacağı üzere, birbirine üstünlüğü kanıtlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle trigeminal nevralji tedavisindeki farklı yöntemleri birbirinin alternatifi değil de tamamlayıcısı olarak görülmesi gerektiği kanısındayız.
