Study Notes
Trigeminal Ganglion Anatomy
- Equine trigeminal-mediated headshaking is a painful neuropathic disorder comparable to trigeminal neuralgia in humans.
- The subarachnoid space surrounding the trigeminal ganglion in horses is being investigated for potential treatment of trigeminal-mediated headshaking with a controlled glycerol rhizotomy procedure.
- The study seeks to provide anatomical details of the subarachnoid space surrounding the trigeminal ganglion to facilitate a safer and more effective controlled glycerol rhizotomy procedure in equids.
