It is a rare condition and the most common cause is vascular compression. Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is characterized by dilated and tortuous vertebral and basilar arteries. VBD is an uncommon and rarely reported cause of PTC. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), due to its inherent excellent contrast resolution, is an excellent modality for demonstrating the nerve compression by dilated and tortuous vessels seen in this condition. For this purpose, 3D MRI sequences are especially useful like constructive interference in steady state (CISS) and MR angiography. Both of these have been reported to be helpful in the diagnosis of this condition. We report a case of PTC in which we were able to document facial and trigeminal nerve compression by VBD on MRI, using CISS and time-of-fl ight MR angiography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/0976-3147.80111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,6]],"date-time":"2011-05-06T13:14:32Z","timestamp":1304687672000},"page":"071-073","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Painful tic convulsif syndrome due to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"02","author":[{"given":"Puneet","family":"Mittal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar, Punjab, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gaurav","family":"Mittal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar, Punjab, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-1","first-page":"157","volume-title":"Major trigeminal neuralgia and their surgical treatment experiences with 332 Gasserian Operations: The Varieties of Facial Neuralgia","author":"Cushing","year":"1920","journal-title":"Am J Med Sci"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-2","first-page":"989","volume-title":"Neurovascular compression in painful tic convulsif","author":"Fonoff","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-3","first-page":"163","volume-title":"Simultaneous involvement of fifth and seventh nerves by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia presenting as painful tic convulsif-demonstrated by MR imaging","author":"Aga","year":"2010","journal-title":"Neurol India","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0028-3886","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-4","first-page":"22","volume-title":"Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography and risk of stroke and death: A cohort study","author":"Ubogu","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-5","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia caused by vertebrobasilar compression","author":"Linskey","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-6","first-page":"545","volume-title":"Preoperative assessment of trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm using constructive interference in steady state-three-dimensional Fourier transformation magnetic resonance imaging","author":"Yamakami","year":"2000","journal-title":"Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo)"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-7","first-page":"192","volume-title":"Painful tic convulsif","author":"Pulsinelli","year":"1977","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/0976-3147.80111-8","first-page":"493","volume-title":"Hemifacial spasm caused by a contralateral vertebral artery: Case report","author":"Grigoryan","year":"2000","journal-title":"Surg Neurol"}],"container-title":["Journal of Neurosciences in Rural Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.4103\/0976-3147.80111.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,5]],"date-time":"2023-08-05T04:25:16Z","timestamp":1691209516000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ruralneuropractice.com\/painful-tic-convulsif-syndrome-due-to-vertebrobasilar-dolichoectasia\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,26]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/0976-3147.80111","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-3147","0976-3155"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-3147","type":"print"},{"value":"0976-3155","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]}}}
