Neurinoma of the trigeminal root and atypical trigeminal neuralgia: their commonality.

abstract：:Arterial stenoses and/or occlusions in moyamoya disease are mainly localized intracranially, although some instances of stenotic lesions of the extracranial arteries have been reported in some autopsy cases. We have reviewed the angiograms of 66 patients with moyamoya disease to investigate whether stenotic lesions ar...
