Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia is discussed from the standpoint of etiology, pathophysiology, and surgical treatment. The author presents the hypothesis of cranial nerve vascular compression as the cause of trigeminal neuralgia from a historic perspective, with a comprehensive review of the literature from its earliest efforts through the present.
