The current diagnostic reference standard for peripheral trigeminal nerve injuries is neurosensory testing in combination with clinical findings to determine treatment. MRN provides an alternative method for the diagnosis and staging of patients with PTN because of its ability to delineate anatomy and the exact location of injury. This study correlates injury grading based on NST and MRN, demonstrating similar rates of agreement with surgical findings in lower-grade injuries but higher rates of agreement between MRN and surgical findings than NST in higher-grade injuries.

In this single-center retrospective study of pediatric patients with acute AIS related to anterior circulation proximal LVO, a specific pattern of unilateral poststroke anastomotic bridge with collaterals bypassing the affected zone was observed in the first year after stroke. This clinical-radiologic pattern was not associated with stroke recurrence or arterial worsening but was strongly associated with focal cerebral arteriopathy.
