Pain Lateralization in Trigeminal Neuralgia
I read the article by Bangash (1) with great interest, as it reconfirms the repeatedly reported finding of the predominance of affection of the right side of the face in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

متن کاملThe mechanism of the pain in trigeminal neuralgia.
Trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) is characterized by brief paroxysms of pain limited to the facial distribution of the trigeminal nerve and is precipitated by stimuli to sensory endings in the trigeminal receptive area. The condition is relieved by blocking the afferent input of the trigeminal nerve. According to Wyburn-Mason (1953) and Crue, Shelden, Pudentz, and Freshwater (1956), attack...
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.
