title: Trigeminal neuralgia due to anterior inferior cerebellar artery loop: a case report.
abstract: Trigeminal neuralgia is uncommon in children. Idiopathic type is less often seen than the secondary or symptomatic type. We report a 6-year-old girl with trigeminal neuralgia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an arterial loop at the exit of the trigeminal nerve.
