Last reviewed for CCPS 10 March 1995.

Preliminary questions [8153]

8602 there is some evidence that a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.

8176 the veteran has a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve.

8178 the trigeminal nerve was affected by the vascular anomaly prior to the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia.

8177the vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve is an illness or injury which is identifiable. [Default true]

8179the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, and VEA service for the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia.

8180the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, and operational service for the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia.

or

8181the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, and eligible service for the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia.

Clinical onset and operational service [8180]

8182the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [8181]

8183the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, is causally related to eligible service.
