Tuberculosis of the atlantoaxial spine is a rare condition that is often overlooked and remains a diagnostic dilemma. We report the rare case of a 56-year-old woman with cervical myelopathy secondary to a lytic lesion of C1-C2 complex with a histological diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia associated with multiple sclerosis: case report.

The incidence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients with multiple sclerosis is higher than in the general population. If pharmacologic therapy fails, invasive procedures in the gasserian ganglion are usually offered. Microvascular decompression is not routinely performed. The authors report a patient with persistent TN after repetitive trigeminal radiofrequency rhizotomy and finally successful microvascular decompression after demonstration of neurovascular compression with high-resolution MRI.
