Evaluation of routine magnetic resonance imaging of patients with chronic orofacial pain

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reported presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pathologies (demyelination, space-occupying lesions, or trigeminal neurovascular contact within the transition zone) in patients with orofacial pain. Patient histories, demographic characteristics, and clinical features were compared between those with and without a reported MRI pathology. A retrospective service evaluation of all patients who had undergone MRI scanning to aid the diagnosis of orofacial pain conditions between 2012 and 2016 was conducted.
