  • CyberKnife radiosurgical rhizotomy for the treatment of atypical trigeminal nerve pain.

    Patil CG, Veeravagu A, Bower RS, Li G, Chang SD, Lim M, Adler JR. Neurosurg Focus. 2007; 23 (6): E9

    Patients with atypical trigeminal neuralgia (TN) have unilateral pain in the trigeminal distribution that is dull, aching, or burning in nature and is constant or nearly constant. Studies of most radiosurgical and surgical series have shown lower response rates in patients with atypical TN. This study represents the first report of the treatment of atypical TN with frameless CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
