Percutaneous radiofrequency Gasserian ganglion coagulation in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
Fifty-three patients with trigeminal neuralgia were treated with percutaneous radiofrequency Gasserian ganglion coagulation. An individually adjusted degree of coagulation was applied. ⋯ Four patients experienced side effects consisting of troublesome facial dysaesthesia. Our data indicate that percutaneous radiofrequency coagulation of the Gasserian ganglion is a safe and reliable procedure in the treatment of medication resistant trigeminal neuralgia.
