متن کاملTrigeminal neuropathy as the presenting symptom of systemic sclerosis.
Three cases of systemic sclerosis in which trigeminal neuropathy was the presenting symptom are described. All 3 patients had progressive diseases and 2 died from its complications. In each case extensive neurological investigation was undertaken before the disease was recognized and it is suggested that earlier recognition of the systemic sclerosis might obviate the need for this. Trigeminal n...
متن کاملCorneal confocal microscopy reveals trigeminal small sensory fiber neuropathy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Although subclinical involvement of sensory neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been previously demonstrated, corneal small fiber sensory neuropathy has not been reported to-date. We examined a group of sporadic ALS patients with corneal confocal microscopy, a recently developed imaging technique allowing in vivo observation of corneal small sensory fibers. Corneal confocal micro...
متن کاملAcyclovir treatment in 2 patients with benign trigeminal sensory neuropathy.
Idiopathic trigeminal sensory neuropathy (TSN) is characterized by transient sensory disturbances in the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. Pain is not a typical complaint. Although the symptoms may last from days to years, complete recovery is normal in half of the patients.1,2 A viral theory has been postulated as the cause of TSN.3-8 In support of this hypothesis, ...
متن کاملThermally induced transient trigeminal sensory neuropathy: imaging findings.
We report the clinical and imaging features of a patient with transient partial trigeminal sensory neuropathy thought to have been induced by thermal injury to the tongue. Abnormal thickening and enhancement of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve was revealed by MR imaging. The diagnostic considerations for mass-like enlargement of the trigeminal nerve should include transient/infla...
