This article discusses the rare occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia-like symptoms in patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS) compressing the trigeminal nerve (TN). The study aims to identify quantitative measurements that can evaluate potential TN tethering causing these symptoms. The researchers used various imaging modalities to assess the tethering of the VS onto the TN, including volumetric tumor measurements, curvature and angle measurements, signal intensity measurements, and T2-weighted MRI signals. The findings suggest that these quantitative measurements could be valuable in understanding the course of the disease and aiding treatment recommendations. [Extracted from the article]
