Description

Percutaneous retrogassarian glycerol rhizotomy has passed the test of time as an immediately effective and reliable method for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. X-ray-assisted puncture of the trigeminal cistern and contrast-enhanced intraoperative visualisation techniques are absolute requirements of this surgical measure and invariably precede any further steps taken by the surgeon. The use of state-of-the-art fluoroscopic methods ensures that ample information is even obtained from the images of the base-of-scull region. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die perkutane, retroganglionaere Glycerin-Rhizotomie hat sich als ein schnelles und sicheres Verfahren zur Behandlung der Trigeminusneuralgie erwiesen. Die Punktion der Trigeminuszisterne unter Roentgenkontrolle und die intraoperative Kontrastmitteldarstellung der Trigeminuszisterne sind unverzichtbarer Bestandteil des Eingriffs und stellen die Basis fuer das weitere Vorgehen des Operateurs dar. Der Einsatz moderner Durchleuchtungstechnik gewaehrleistet selbst im Bereich der Schaedelbasis eine Fuelle von Bildinformation. (orig.)
