case_images: (a and b) Magnetic resonance imaging FIESTA sequence: at the level of glossopharyngeal nerve on the left side consistent with an offending loop by both SCA and AICA causing compression at root entry zone and crossing over of glossopharyngeal nerve. Here, the red circle depicts the above-mentioned findings. (c and d) Magnetic resonance imaging FIESTA sequence: at the level of Meckel cave consistent with an offending loop by both SCA and AICA causing compression at root entry zone and crossing over of trigeminal nerve. Here, the red circle depicts the above-mentioned findings. FIESTA: Fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition, SCA: Superior cerebellar artery, AICA: Anterior inferior cerebellar artery.

case_images: Intraoperative imaging through left retro sigmoid approach for microvascular decompression of an offending vascular loop, here depicted an offending vascular loop with compression around the entry point of the trigeminal nerve.
