Gain‐of‐function mutation Met136Val in SCN8A may not be a common cause of trigeminal neuralgia

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background The Met136Val mutation in SCN8A was described in a case of trigeminal neuralgia but no frequency among affected individuals was provided. Methods Direct sequencing of 123 individuals diagnosed with classic trigeminal neuralgia was performed ...

Case report: Teflon granuloma following microvascular decompression manifesting as light-triggered trigeminal neuralgia

Frontiers in Surgery, 2022
Trigeminal Neuralgia is commonly triggered by stimuli in the area of the trigeminal nerve innervation. We report an exceptionally rare case of a 61-year-old woman who complained of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia, which sole trigger was seeing a bright ...

Accommodation to Diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2017
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most common causes of facial pain. It implies short lasting episodes of unilateral electric shock-like pain with abrupt onset and termination, in the distribution of one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve that ...

Triggering trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Although it is widely accepted that facial pain paroxysms triggered by innocuous stimuli constitute a hallmark sign of trigeminal neuralgia, very few studies to date have systematically investigated the role of the triggers involved. In the

Trigeminal neuralgia: new classification and diagnostic grading for practice and research [PDF]

, 2016
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an exemplary condition of neuropathic facial pain. However, formally classifying TN as neuropathic pain based on the grading system of the International Association for the Study of Pain is complicated by the requirement of ...

Percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy and neurovascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve for the treatment of facial pain Rizotomia percutânea por radiofreqüência e a descompressão neurovascular do nervo trigêmeo no tratamento das algias faciais

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2006
OBJECTIVE: To determine the outcomes of 354 radiofrequency rhizotomies and 21 neurovascular decompressions performed as treatment for 367 facial pain patients (290 idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, 52 symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia, 16 atypical facial ...

Endoscopic treatment for arachnoid cyst at the cerebellopontine angle presenting with bilateral trigeminal neuralgia: Case report and literature review

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020
Although arachnoid cysts can occur at the cerebellopontine angle or in the quadrigeminal cistern, they rarely manifest as trigeminal neuralgia. This is the first report of a patient with bilateral trigeminal neuralgia due to an arachnoid cyst at the ...

A study to evaluate neurovascular conflict of trigeminal nerve in trigeminal neuralgia patients with the help of 1.5 T MR imaging

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2022
Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic pain that occurs in the sensory supply region of the trigeminal nerve (V cranial nerve). The common etiology of trigeminal neuralgia is said to be vascular compression on the trigeminal nerve root.

Ophthalmic branch radiofrequency thermocoagulation for atypical trigeminal neuralgia:a case report [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Trigeminal neuralgia is an intense neuralgia involving facial areas supplied by trigeminal nerve. The pain is characterized by sudden onset, short persistence, sharp or lancinating.

Classical trigeminal neuralgia is associated with gephyrin and sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8

Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2023
Trigeminal neuralgia is highly debilitating, and its etiology is still undefined. The goal of this work was to define associations between well-characterized trigeminal neuralgia cases and common genetic variants in the population.
