Case Report Peripheral Neurectomy of Inferior Alveolar Nerve - A Treatment Option for Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Case Report
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is defined as sudden, usually unilateral, severe, brief, stabbing, lancinating, paroxysmal, recurring pain in the distribution of one or more branches of 5th cranial nerve. „Tic Douloureux‟ and „Fothergill‟s disease „are the synonyms used to describe the same disease. In spite of the condition being known since centuries, it still continues to baffle the clinician and ...
متن کاملThe place of peripheral neurectomy in the management of trigeminal neuralgia.
One hundred and forty-six patients with trigeminal neuralgia were studied. Of 49 patients ultimately maintained pain-free by non-medical means, 26 underwent peripheral neurectomy. Twenty of these achieved excellent pain control in the longer term and 5 of the remaining 6 became more responsive to carbamazepine after operation. Seven patients required repeat neurectomies. Peripheral neurectomy i...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve stimulation for occipital neuralgia: surgical leads.
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been used for the treatment of various neuropathic pain disorders, including occipital neuralgia, for the patients who failed less-invasive therapeutic approaches. Several different mechanisms of pain relief were proposed when PNS is used to treat occipital neuralgia and clinical studies using various types of electrical leads suggested largely positive cl...
متن کاملSurgical management of Ossifying Fibroma of the mandible with inferior alveolar nerve involvement
Background and Aim: Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion, which is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40 years. The female to male ratio is 5:1, with affinity for posterior mandibular region. The aim of the present report is to discuss a case of OF and its clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics and the related surgical approach. Case presentation...
متن کاملPredicting pain relief: Use of pre-surgical trigeminal nerve diffusion metrics in trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic facial pain disorder that commonly responds to surgery. A proportion of patients, however, do not benefit and suffer ongoing pain. There are currently no imaging tools that permit the prediction of treatment response. To address this paucity, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to determine whether pre-surgical trigeminal nerve microstructur...
