Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The retrogasserian rhizotomy procedure damages the gasserian or trigeminal ganglion in order to control and relive the paroxysmal pain in the face.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Traumatic or surgically created skull defects are corrected with autogenous bone grafts or a synthetic or titanium prosthesis. Bone removed because of an extensively comminuted fracture or bone disease may be replaced with sterile polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
