We report a 27-year-old female patient who presented with pain and an electric shock-like sensation on the right side of her face that started three years ago. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was done and revealed no neurovascular conflict along the course of the trigeminal nerve. The absence of Meckel's cave with atrophy of the cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve on the affected side was reported. The absence of Meckel's cave is an exceedingly rare cause of TN, and only a handful of reported cases in the literature suggest the association between them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1759638","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]],"date-time":"2022-12-08T00:07:01Z","timestamp":1670458021000},"page":"124-128","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Absence of Meckel's Cave with Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Asma","family":"AlHatmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Ibri Hospital, Ibri, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Al-Qassabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Al-Khoudh, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5050-814X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sameer Bhimjibhai","family":"Raniga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology and Molecular Imaging, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Al-Khoudh, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6162-3602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eiman","family":"Al Ajmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology and Molecular Imaging, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Al-Khoudh, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"09","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1610","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A7205","article-title":"Absence of Meckel cave: a rare cause of trigeminal neuralgia","volume":"42","author":"A Jain","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Neuroradiol"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1159\/000502564","article-title":"Three cases of trigeminal neuralgia with radiographic absence of Meckel's cave","volume":"97","author":"D R Cleary","year":"2019","journal-title":"Stereotact Funct Neurosurg"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410270114","article-title":"Incidence and clinical features of trigeminal neuralgia, Rochester, Minnesota, 1945-1984","volume":"27","author":"S Katusic","year":"1990","journal-title":"Ann Neurol"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1574","DOI":"10.1111\/head.12441","article-title":"Trigeminal neuralgia\u2013a prospective systematic study of clinical characteristics in 158 patients","volume":"54","author":"S Maarbjerg","year":"2014","journal-title":"Headache"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1048","DOI":"10.3171\/2014.1.JNS131410","article-title":"Trigeminal neuralgia occurs and recurs in the absence of neurovascular compression","volume":"120","author":"A Lee","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1334","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1526-4610.2007.00933.x","article-title":"The trigeminal vasculature pathology in patients with neuralgia","volume":"47","author":"S Marinkovi\u0107","year":"2007","journal-title":"Headache"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref7","first-page":"293","article-title":"Absent Meckel's cave in MRI, in a clinically diagnosed case of trigeminal neuralgia.
