Historical aspects of the problem of treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and the role of neurosurgical methods in its solution (literature review)

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2021
The trigeminal nerve is a mixed fifth cranial nerve, consisting of motor and sensory components. The sensitive component receives somesthetic information from the skin and mucous membranes of the face into the central nervous system, and the motor ...

The diagnostic value of pain evoked potential by electrical stimulation combined with noceciptive blink reflex in trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
Microvascular decompression is the first choice for treating the primary trigeminal neuralgia to provide the most extended duration of pain freedom. However, in microvascular decompression, we found that this kind of operation is only suitable for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Trigeminal neuralgia

BMJ, 2009
Trigeminal neuralgia is a sudden, unilateral, brief, stabbing, recurrent pain in the distribution of one or more branches of the fifth cranial nerve. Pain occurs in paroxysms, which can last from a few seconds to several minutes. The frequency of the paroxysms ranges from a few to hundreds of attacks a day.

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 ...

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.
