Abstract

Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful mononeuropathy most commonly caused by neurovascular conflict or structural lesion which can frequently be identified on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. In this case report we describe the presentation and imaging findings of a 29-year-old woman with right-sided trigeminal neuralgia with ipsilateral absence or undetectable Meckel's cave without any other identifiable cause of symptoms on her magnetic resonance imaging.
