Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance tomography angiography (MRTA) in the etiological diagnosis of cranial neurovascular compression syndrome.Methods A total of 158 patients with cranial neurovascular compression syndrome were selected (involving 107 primary trigeminal neuralgia,46 facial spasm and 5 glossopharyngeal neuralgia).The imaging data of MRAT (including 3D-FIESTA,3D-TOF and 3D-CE-TOF sequence),surgical results were retrospectively analyzed and compared,and the spatial relationship between cranial nerve and its peripheral vessel in preoperative were evaluated.Results Compared with the results of microvasular decompression (MVD),the ability for showing relationship of cranial nerve and corresponding vessels among 3D-FIESTA,3D-TOF and 3D-CE-TOF sequence was significatly different (P＜0.05).3D-CE-TOF sequence only did best showing cranial nerve and compression vessels (positive rate 95.57％).3D-FIESTA and 3D-TOF sequence combination improved positive detection rate of corresponding vessels for cranial nerves compression (positive rate 93.04％).There was no significant difference between single 3D-CE-TOF sequence and 3D-FIESTA combing with 3D-TOF sequence in positive detection rate of corresponding vessels (P＞0.05).Conclusion MRTA can definitely display cranial nerves and its corresponding vessels.Single 3D-CETOF,3D-FIESTA combing with 3D-TOF show the best clinical values among these MRTA sequences.
