Abstract
The autopsy findings in a 75 yr old woman with trigeminal neuralgia who died from unrelated causes are presented. Arterial cross compression of the appropriate trigeminal nerve at the pons was demonstrated. The relationship of arterial cross compression to trigeminal neuralgia is briefly discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
