Gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSR) is an effective minimally invasive option for the treatment of medically refractory trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Optimal targeting of the retrogasserian trigeminal nerve target requires thin-slice, high-definition stereotactic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate management outcomes in TN patients ineligible for MRI and who instead underwent GKSR using computed tomography (CT).
