Abstract
We have read with great interest the article of Lv et al[1][1] about the immediate reproducible and reflexive response of the trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) stimulation by Onyx (ev3, Irvine, Calif) injection during embolization of a tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula in a 53-year-old man. We are
Highlights
It seems to us important to shed light on the somatotopic representation of the cranial dura mater and the major cerebral arteries in the trigeminal ganglion[5]: Modern tracer methods have investigated the somatotopic organization of meningeal sensation in the gasserian ganglion
The cranial dura mater is supplied by the trigeminal divisions sectorally, in a manner similar to that of the face
Cells in the first trigeminal division are found to innervate the medial aspect of the anterior cranial fossa, the tentorium cerebelli, and the intracranial carotid and the middle cerebral arteries
Summary
It seems to us important to shed light on the somatotopic representation of the cranial dura mater and the major cerebral arteries in the trigeminal ganglion[5]: Modern tracer methods have investigated the somatotopic organization of meningeal sensation in the gasserian ganglion.
