متن کاملRhabdomyomatous Mesenchymal Hamartoma of the Face Causing Trigeminal Neuralgia
BACKGROUND Rhabdomyomatous mesenchymal hamartoma (RMH) is a benign, potentially pigmented lesion that occurs in the head and neck region. It generally consists of haphazardly arranged skeletal muscle with adipose tissue, blood vessels, collagen and nerve fibers and is largely asymptomatic. Trigeminal neuralgia is pain due to compression of the trigeminal nerve. TN may be idiopathic or associate...
متن کاملAn anomalous developmental venous anomaly.
Developmental venous anomalies (DVA) are congenital variants of cerebral veins, found incidentally at autopsy in 2.6% of the population, which are most often asymptomatic. Symptomatic compression of a cranial nerve by the collecting vein of a DVA is extremely rare, such as tinnitus from compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve. A 51-year-old man presented with 1 week of intermittent vertigo a...
متن کاملPostherpetic Neuralgia and Trigeminal Neuralgia
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is an unpredictable complication of varicella zoster virus- (VZV-) induced herpes zoster (HZ) which often occurs in elderly and immunocompromised persons and which can induce psychosocial dysfunction and can negatively impact on quality of life. Preventive options for PHN include vaccination of high-risk persons against HZ, early use of antiviral agents, and robust ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Venous Anomaly: Benign or Not Benign
Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs), previously called venous angiomas, are the most frequently encountered cerebral vascular malformations. However, DVA is considered to be rather an extreme developmental anatomical variation of medullary veins than true malformation. DVAs are composed of dilated medullary veins converging centripetally into a large collecting venous system that drains into ...
