Stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia in a community hospital.
Access to state-of-the-art medical therapy can be difficult for people who live in rural areas far from a major medical center. We report here a case in which trigeminal neuralgia was successfully treated with stereotactic radiosurgery at Southeast Missouri Hospital, a community hospital serving a mostly rural population.
