Neurovascular compression syndromes: A pictorial essay

Abstract

Neurovascular compression syndromes are typically brought on by arteries that come into contact with a cranial nerve's (CN) cisternal section. Neurovascular contact does not always present with clinical symptoms. The most susceptible area for symptomatic neurovascular compression syndromes is the transitional zone between the peripheral and central myelin. Individual CN functional abnormalities are the clinical hallmark of neurovascular compression disorders. We present a series of four cases of patients presenting to a tertiary care center in Central India with symptoms and signs of neurovascular compression syndrome.
