Abstract
Trigeminal-mediated pain disorders can be devastating for patients refractory to medical therapy. Gasserian ganglion blocks and percutaneous trigeminal rhizotomy have been used with success to treat these patients, however, serious complication risks include facial hematoma, cranial nerve palsy, and stroke. Cone beam CT, combined with fluoroscopy and needle navigation has been shown to decrease needle pass rates, procedure time, radiation exposure, and complications in multiple interventional radiology procedures, but hitherto has not been utilized for Gasserian ganglion interventions. Here, we present two cases of trigeminal-mediated pain successfully treated via cone beam CT combined fluoroscopy and needle navigation.
