Abstract
Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) originates from the posterior bend or lateral wall of the intra-cavernous carotid artery and is the most common occurring type of remnant primitive fetal arteries. In literature, there is limited number of reports on migraine-cephalgia (MC) associated with coexisting PTA. The primitive anastomose arteries that fully belong to the intracranial arterial vascular system are not supposed to perform any supportive functional activity; usually they are subjected to normal biological decay caused by the aging process and metabolic dysfunctions. The hypothesis suggests that these primitive fetal arteries such as PTA may not undergo a fast and structural deterioration but they might be active contributors to a series of mechanisms that can cause a variety of idiopathic complaints. Consequently this would bring a different therapeutic approach other than their surgical removal, which is the accepted option today as a solution for these problems. In this case report, a chronic unilateral MC due to coexisting PTA adjacent to trigeminal nerve is presented. The caliber and location of the PTA was confirmed by a CT-Angiography. The MC treatment was achieved by administration of bio-identical testosterone, human placenta extract (HPE), b-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and low dose amlopidine.
