Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast helps to distinguish secondary causes of trigeminal neuralgia from idiopathic form. MRI is considered to be the imaging modality of choice especially in patients younger than 60 years, principally to exclude multiple sclerosis and tumors. MRI can also be performed if a patient presents with atypical features.[1]
Similarly Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can be performed to lacate neurovascular compression.
