Vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve

Trigeminal neuralgia - Vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve Factor

Last reviewed for CCPS 10 March 1995.

Preliminary questions [8153]

8602 [1] 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 [1] the veteran has a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve.

8178 [2] the trigeminal nerve was affected by the vascular anomaly prior to the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia. [3]

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

8179 — the 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.

8180 — the 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

8181 — the 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]

8182 — the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, is causally related to operational service. [4] [5]

Clinical onset and eligible service [8181]

8183 — the identified illness or injury, a vascular anomaly affecting the trigeminal nerve, is causally related to eligible service. [6] [5]
