Abstract
A patient with trigeminal neuralgia caused by a tortuous vertebrobasilar artery is reported. To obtain safe and certain neurovascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve, the tortuous vertebrobasilar artery was repositioned by pulling it toward the dura mater of the clivus using a synthetic vascular slip. The authors describe the technique of repositioning of the tortuous vertebrobasilar artery and its usefulness.Entities:
