Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) secondary to arterivenous malformations (AVMs) is relatively rare. We here report on a case of TN caused by cerebellar AVMs that was successfully treated by total AVMs resection in conjunction with microvasecular decompression (MVD) in one stage. In addition, we perform a review of the literature about the treatment of TN caused by cerebellar AVMs.
