Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia.

A 56-year-old woman previously treated by a retrogasserian neurectomy for a right tic douloureux was rendered free of pain, but complete anaesthesia of the right half of her face remained. Seven years later, she developed a typical left trigeminal neuralgia. Contralateral rhizotomy was refused because of the patient's concern about having bilateral facial anaesthesia. Through a suboccipital craniectomy, the trigeminal nerve was decompressed from a thickened arachnoid membrane and a large bridging vein near the root entry zone. After eighteen months, the patient was free of pain with intact fac…

Familial trigeminal neuralgia.

A family had four cases of trigeminal neuralgia occurring in three generations. More cases of a familial nature probably exist.

Trigeminal Neuralgia, Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia, and Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome: An Update.

Neuropathic pain is a common phenomenon that affects millions of people worldwide. Maxillofacial structures consist of various tissues that receive frequent stimulation during food digestion. The unique functions (masticatory process and facial expression) of the maxillofacial structure require the exquisite organization of both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Neuralgia is painful paroxysmal disorder of the head-neck region characterized by some commonly shared features such as the unilateral pain, transience and recurrence of attacks, and superficial and shock-like pain at a trigg…

Neuralgia of the intermediate nerve combined with trigeminal neuralgia: case report.

An unusual case of a combination of trigeminal and intermediate nerve neuralgia is presented, caused by vascular compression of both of the nerve roots by different vessels. Because the neuralgia of the intermediate nerve could be cured by a vascular decompression operation, it is suggested to include it among the hyperactive dysfunction syndromes of cranial nerves caused by vascular compression at the root entry zone of the nerves. Therefore also for treatment of this neuralgia the non-destructive vascular decompression operation should be taken into consideration.

[Trigeminal neuralgia - Overview].

Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common cause of facial pain in individuals over 50 years old and can have a profoundly negative impact on quality of life. Epidemiological studies have measured the annual incidence of trigeminal neuralgia at around 4-5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year. In Iceland, this would amount to about 16-20 new cases annually. The incidence increases steadily with age, peaking between 50 and 70 years. The pain is sudden and often compared to an electric shock. The attacks usually occur in the second or third branches of the trigeminal nerve. The pain is often trigg…

13. Тригеминальная Невралгия.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Трехземная нейронгия (ТН) - это расстройство, характеризующееся повторяющимися в одностороннем порядке короткими электрическими ударами, резким наступлением и прекращением, ограничивающееся распределением одной или нескольких ветвей тригеминального нерва и вызванное беспощадными стимуляторами. МЕТОДЫ: Была извлечена и обобщена литература по диагностике и лечению ТН. Результаты: Диагностика почти полностью основана на истории пациента. В классической TN неврологический осмотр обычно является нормальным, в то время как экзамен в средней TN сосредоточен на обнаружении признаков множеств

INTRODUCTION: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder characterized by recurrent, unilateral brief electric shock-like pains, abrupt in onset and termination, limited to the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, and triggered by innocuous stimuli. METHODS: The literature on the diagnosis and treatment of TN was retrieved and summariz…

Post-herpetic neuralgia.

BACKGROUND: In spite of the large body of evidence available in the literature, definition and treatment of Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) are still lacking a consistent and universally recognized standardization. Furthermore, many issues concerning diagnosis, prediction and prevention of PHN need to be clarified in view of recent contributions. OBJECTIVES: To assess whether PHN may be better defined, predicted, treated and prevented in light of recent data, and whether available alternative or adjunctive therapies may improve pain relief in treatment recalcitrant PHN. METHODS: Systematic rev…

[Dental trigeminal neuralgia].

INTRODUCTION: Although the majority of patients with recurrent hyperalgesia of the nervus trigeminus may benefit from drug treatment or invasive (thermocoagulation) and other surgical interventions, a minority of patients does not respond to these strategies. Hence, unusual etiologies must be taken into consideration. CASE REPORT: Mrs F., a 74-year-old women suffered from acute left-side trigeminalgia ten days after receiving a new dental prosthesis (upper jaw). Intensive pain attacks occurred spontaneously when she was speaking and could also be evoked by gentle exogenous pressure at the upp
