Acquired ptosis associated with oculomotor and contralateral facial nerve synkinesis: the first reported case [PDF]
Evidence of oculomotor nerve (ON) synkinesis is a common occurrence following both acquired and congenital III nerve palsy. It is generally accepted that aberrant regeneration is the likely aetiology of synkinesis in acquired III nerve palsy, following ...

No Glymphatic Dysfunction in Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Preliminary Study. [PDF]
In this study investigating cross‐sectional and longitudinal DTI‐ALPS changes in patients with trigeminal neuralgia, no DTI‐ALPS alterations were detected in trigeminal neuralgia patients. ABSTRACT Background Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients are at risk for glymphatic dysfunction due to their prolonged headaches and sleep disturbances.

Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia [PDF]
Background: A severe, intermittent pain in the trigeminal nerve distribution area on one side of the face is known as trigeminal neuralgia. The primary pathophysiological cause of trigeminal neuralgia is neurovascular compression, which results in ...

Evidence of descending inhibition deficits in atypical but not classical trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare neuropathic facial pain disorder. Two forms of TN, classical TN (CTN) and atypical TN (ATN), are reported and probably have different aetiologies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional integrity
