Abstract：Objective To evaluate the value of 3D FIESTA-C combined with 3D-TOF sequence in diagnosis of neurovascular compression in primary trigeminal neuralgia(TN). Methods The images of 3D FIESTA-C and 3D-TOF sequence were analyzed in 45 primary trigeminal neuralgia patients. And the relationship between trigeminal nerve and adjacent vessels were judged and compared with clinical symptoms. Results 36 sides showed vascular compression or contact at 3D FIESTA-C and 3D-TOF ima-ges in 45 sides with TN. And 12 sides had vascular compression or contact relationship in the 45 control subjects. There was sta-tistically significant difference between TN group and control group( P <0.05). Conclusion 3D FIESTA-C combined with 3D-TOF sequence can clearly show the relationship between the trigeminal nerve and surrounding blood vessels, and is of important value in diagnosing primary TN to guide clinical treatmen.
