A method of untethering by skipping the area of positive responses on electrical stimulation during surgery of lumbosacral lipomatous malformation: 'hopping on a stepping stone'.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Trigeminal neuralgia is usually caused by microvascular conflict with the fifth cranial nerve in the pontocerebellar angle. Rarely is it secondary to other extra-axial or intra-axial lesions. Few cases of trigeminal neuralgia due to cavernous angiomas have been reported in the literature. This is the first r...
