Uncommon Cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia: Tentorial Ossification over Trigeminal Notch

Uncommon Cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia: Tentorial Ossification over Trigeminal Notch

Ossification of the tentorium cerebelli over the trigeminal notch is rare, but it may cause compression of the trigeminal nerve, leading to trigeminal neuralgia (TN). We were unable to find any previously reported cases with radiological evaluation, although we did find one case with surgically pro...
