Thermally induced transient trigeminal sensory neuropathy: imaging findings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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/inflammatory processes, as well as more common and sinister conditions, such as tumor.

Unilateral Trigeminal Mandibular Motor Neuropathy Caused by Tumor in the Foramen Ovale
Pure trigeminal motor neuropathy is characterized by trigeminal motor weakness without signs of trigeminal sensory or other cranial nerve involvement. We describe a 63-year-old woman with progressive weakness and atrophy of the left masticatory muscles. She had no sensory disturbance. The diagnosis of pure trigeminal motor neuropathy was made on the basis of clinical and electrophysiologic stud...
متن کاملIrritative and sensory disturbances in oral implantology. Literature review.
The aim of this study was to review irritative and sensory disturbances following placement of dental implants. A literature search was made of PubMed for articles published between 2000 and 2010. Studies that reported sensory disturbances directly caused by the placement of dental implants were included. Sensory deficits or trigeminal neuropathy are caused by damage to the third branch of the...
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 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 کاملPure sensory neuropathy in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome: clinical, immunological, and electromyographic findings.
A pure sensory neuropathy caused by lymphocytic infiltration of the dorsal root ganglia has been reported in a few patients with Sjögren's syndrome. The clinical, immunological, and electromyographic findings of five patients with this type of neuropathy and primary Sjögren's syndrome were reviewed. Typical clinical indications were the presence of a chronic asymmetrical sensory deficit, initia...
