We assessed the trigeminal pons angle and identified the compressing vessels and their location and severity. Machine learning was employed to analyze the cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve (CN V).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the C-ITN patients, 53 had NVC on the unaffected side, while 25 HCs exhibited bilateral NVC, and 24 HCs showed unilateral NVC. By comparing the cisternal segment of CN V between C-ITN patients on the affected side and HCs with NVC, we identified the side of NVC, the compressing vessel, and certain texture features as risk factors for C-ITN. Additionally, four texture features differed in the structure of the cisternal segment of CN V between C-ITN patients on the unaffected side and HCs with NVC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that the side of NVC, the compressing vessel, and the microstructure of the cisternal segment of CN V are associated with the risk of C-ITN. Furthermore, microstructural changes observed in the cisternal segment of CN V on the unaffected side of C-ITN patients with NVC indicate possible indirect effects on the CN V to some extent.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnhum.2024.1349186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]],"date-time":"2024-04-17T04:25:49Z","timestamp":1713327949000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Analyzing the risk factors of unilateral trigeminal neuralgia under neurovascular compression"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Juncheng","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luoyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiqi","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofen","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongxiang","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiuhong","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"38","article-title":"Trigeminal nerve - artery contact in people without trigeminal neuralgia - MR study","volume":"13","author":"Adamczyk","year":"2007","journal-title":"Med Sci Monit"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1186\/s10194-021-01325-4","article-title":"Leveraging high-resolution 7-tesla MRI to derive quantitative metrics for the trigeminal nerve and subnuclei of limbic structures in trigeminal neuralgia","author":"Alper","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
