Abstract

Persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA) is an abnormal

embryonic vascular structure that provides connection between

the carotid artery and vertebrobasilar system. PPTA usually

originates from cavernous segment of internal carotid artery (ICA)

and contacts with the central part of the basilar artery. The sellar

lesions such as pituitary adenoma accompanying PPTA are very

rare and PPTA is an unusual cause of trigeminal neuralgia. Herein,

we present two cases of PPTA along with a prolactin secreting

pituitary adenoma and trigeminal neuralgia (TN) due to PPTA,

diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We suggest that

MRI would be able to properly plan and execute surgical treatment

and avoid cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Abstract

Persistan primitif trigeminal arter (PPTA), anormal embriyonik

vasküler yapı olup karotis arter ve vertebrobasiler sistem

arasında bulunur. PPTA sıklıkla internal karotid arterin kavernöz

segmentinden kaynaklanmakta olup basiller arterin santral

kesimiyle birleşir. Hipofiz adenomları gibi sellar lezyonlara eşlik

eden PPTA nadiren görülür ve PPTA, trigeminal nevraljinin nadir bir

nedeni olabilir. Biz burada prolaktin salgılayan hipofiz adenomuna

eşlik eden PPTA ve trigeminal nevraljiye neden olan PPTA tanısını

manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile koyduğumuz iki olgu

sunuyoruz. Cerrahi tedavinin planlanmasında ve yol göstermesinde

invaziv yöntem olan serebral dijital substraksiyon anjiyografi

(DSA)’den kaçarak, yerine MRG’nin kullanılabileceğini

düşünüyoruz.
