Özet:

 Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the morphometric structure of the foramen ovale FO and foramen rotundum FR through Computerized Tomography CT images of individuals diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia TN without any vascular compression. Materials and Methods: The study was approved by the Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Clinical Research Ethics Committee on March 2, 2023, with approval number 83116987-143. Thirty-four patients 16 males, 18 females diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia TN at the Clinic of Neurology, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Medicine, and 34 individuals 15 males, 19 females selected as the control group CG were retrospectively analyzed. CT images of all participants were obtained in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes using the Horos software. Plane adjustments were applied to these images, referred to as modified planes, for morphometric measurements. Results: There was no significant difference in the mean length and width measurements of the FO between individuals with TN and the CG on the side with nerve involvement p0.05. The mean length and width measurements of the FR on the affected side in the trigeminal neuralgia group TNG were significantly smaller when compared to the CG p0.001. It was found that increasing age significantly affected nerve involvement on the right side p0.005. Conclusion: We believe that knowledge of the morphology of FO and FR would contribute to clinicians in the diagnostic and interventional treatment approaches of TN.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, herhangi bir vasküler bası olmaksızın trigeminal nevralji TN tanısı alan bireylerin Bilgisayarlı Tomografi BT görüntüleri aracılığıyla foramen ovale FO ve foramen rotundumun FR morfometrik yapısını araştırmaktır. Araçlar ve Yöntem: Çalışma, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi Klinik Araştırmalar Etik Kurulu, 02.03.2023 tarihinde 83116987-143 sayılı kararla onaylandı. Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Nöroloji Kliniğinde TN tanısı almış 34 hasta 16 erkek, 18 kadın ile kontrol grubu KG olarak belirlenen 34 olgu 15 erkek, 19 kadın retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tüm bireylerin BT görüntüleri Horos programı kullanılarak koronal, sagittal ve transvers düzlemlerde elde edildi. Elde edilen görüntüler üzerinde düzlem düzeltmeleri yapıldı ve bunlar modifiye düzlemler olarak adlandırıldı. Morfometrik ölçümler modifiye edilmiş düzlemler üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: TNli bireyler ile sinir tutulumu olan taraftaki KG arasında FOnun ortalama uzunluk ve genişlik ölçümlerinde anlamlı bir fark yoktu p0.05. Trigeminal nevralji grubunda TNG etkilenen taraftaki FRnin ortalama uzunluk ve genişlik ölçümleri KGye kıyasla anlamlı olarak daha küçüktü p0.001. Artan yaşın sağ taraftaki sinir tutulumunu anlamlı olarak etkilediği bulundu p0.005. Sonuç: FO ve FR morfolojisinin bilinmesinin TNnin tanısal ve girişimsel tedavi yaklaşımlarında klinisyenlere katkı sağlayacağına inanıyoruz.
