Categories: ,

MRI Brain (Trigeminal Nerve) is a specialized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan that focuses on the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). This nerve is responsible for facial sensations and motor functions like chewing. The scan helps detect abnormalities that may cause trigeminal neuralgia, facial pain, numbness, or muscle weakness.

This high-resolution imaging technique can identify nerve compression, inflammation, multiple sclerosis (MS), tumors, vascular compression, or other conditions affecting the trigeminal nerve
