Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression for the treatment of hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND: Microvascular decompression (MVD) is already the preferred surgical treatment for medically refractory neurovascular compression syndromes (NVC) such as hemifacial spasm (HFS), trigeminal neuralgia (TN), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN). Endoscopy has significantly advanced surgery and provides enhanced visualization of MVD. The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy and safety of fully endoscopic microvascular decompression (E-MVD) for the treatment of HFS, TN, and GPN, as well as to present our initial experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective case series i…

A novel case of resolved postherpetic neuralgia with subsequent development of trigeminal neuralgia: a case report and review of the literature.

A 72-year-old female patient is presented, who was diagnosed with herpes zoster along the left ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve with associated cutaneous vesicles. The patient subsequently developed postherpetic neuralgia in the same dermatome, which, after remission, transformed into paroxysmal trigeminal pain. The two different symptom sets, with the former consistent with PHN and the later consistent with trigeminal neuralgia, were unique to our practice and the literature.

Ретроспективное клиническое наблюдение корреляции между Галектином-3 и Ранним Герпесом Зостер Невралгией и постгерпетической невралгией.

:: Герпес Зостер Невралгия (HZN) и пост-герпетическая невралгия (PHN) являются нейропатическими болезнями после заражения вирусом Варичелла Зостер. ПХН в первую очередь затрагивает лиц в возрасте 60 лет и старше, а распространенная и сильная нейропатическая боль в ПХН приводит к значительным эмоциональным и психологическим расстройствам у приблизительно 80%-90% пациентов, что ведет к снижению общего качества их жизни и жизни их семей. Галектин-3, предвосхищающий воспаление, причастен к подстрекательским реакциям, потенциально влияющим на нейронные повреждения и передачу обезболивающих сигналов

BACKGROUND: Herpes Zoster Neuralgia (HZN) and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) are neuropathic pain conditions following Varicella Zoster Virus infection. PHN primarily affects individuals aged 60 and above and the pervasive and severe neuropathic pain in PHN leads to significant emotional and psychological distress in approximately 80%-90% of patients, precipi…

Neurovascular compression syndrome:Trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, vestibular paroxysmia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, four case reports and review of literature.

Neurovascular compression syndrome is caused by vessels touching a cranial nerve, resulting in clinical manifestations of abnormal sensory or motor symptoms. The most common manifestations are trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. However, neurovascular compression of the vestibular nerve or glossopharyngeal nerve are rare. In this article, we describe four typical cases of neurovascular compression syndrome. In addition, we analyze the main features of the etiology, neuroimaging, and treatment of this disease.

Effectiveness and safety of lidocaine patch 5% to treat herpes zoster acute neuralgia and to prevent postherpetic neuralgia.

Herpes zoster is often associated to acute neuralgia and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Their therapeutic management is still challenging: among therapeutic options, lidocaine patch 5% was rarely used in acute neuralgia on lesional skin, and its efficacy to prevent PHN was never studied. The efficacy and tolerability of lidocaine patch 5% was evaluated in 38 patients with acute neuralgia (19) and PHN (19). Pain intensity was investigated using DN4 questionnaire and NRS-11 scale at baseline and at week 2, 4, and 8. The use of rescue therapy was also evaluated. A significant reduction of DN4 and …

Proposal for evaluating the quality of reports of surgical interventions in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia: the Surgical Trigeminal Neuralgia Score.

OBJECT: The aim of this study was to design a checklist with a scoring system for reporting on studies of surgical interventions for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and to validate it by a review of the recent literature. METHODS: A checklist with a scoring system, the Surgical Trigeminal Neuralgia Score (STNS), was devised partially based on the validated STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) criteria and customized for TN after a literature review and then applied to a series of articles. These articles were identified using a prespecified MEDLINE and Embas…

Postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, and trigeminal neuralgia - Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain in 58,480 rural Italian primary care patients.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (CPNP) is a condition due to peripheral nervous system diseases or injury, but its prevale … ients (0.31%) had diabetes neuropathy, 142 (0.24%) had postherpetic pain, 41 (0.07%) had trigeminal neuralgia, 27 (0.05%) had NP postinjury, 27 (0.05%) had NP caused by nerve entrapments, 11 (0.02%) had NP triggered by systemic diseases, and 21 (0.04%) had NP of unknown etiology. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of CPNP in this population of primary care attend …

Epidemiology and clinical features of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharyngeal neuralgia: similarities and differences, Rochester, Minnesota, 1945-1984.

A comparison of epidemiological and clinical features of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN) in Rochester, Minn., reveals several differences. The overall age- and sex-adjusted annual incidence rates were significantly higher for TN than for GN (4.7 vs. 0.8 per 100,000 population). The TN:GN ratio was increased for both men and women and was 5.9:1 for both sexes combined. This ratio is greater than reported in previous non-population-based studies. GN is a milder disease than TN, as indicated by the number of episodes, treatment, and characterization of pain. The righ…

Trigeminal neuralgia: a primer for dental practitioners.

OBJECTIVE: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe neuropathic facial pain disorder that is frequently misdiagnosed in dental settings, leading to delays in appropriate management and unnecessary irreversible dental procedures. This narrative review aims to synthesize current knowledge on the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and management of TN, with particular emphasis on issues relevant to dental practitioners involved in the differential diagnosis of orofacial pain. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed database, covering studies published bet…
