A case of the bilateral trigeminal neuralgia produced by compression of the V cranial nerve roots by the branch of the anterior lower cerebral artery and post-hemorrhagic aggregates is presented. Complete recovery was obtained in the result of 2-stage, intracranial relief of the right and left trigeminal nerve roots. Neurologists share the opinion that intracranial surgical relief of the V cranial nerve root produces favourable result in case of trigeminal neuralgia resistant to pharmacotherapy.
