We present a 30-year-old South Indian man who presented with complaints of left sided headache and facial pain for past 3 months, severe for past 10 days. On physical examination, right side of the face appeared normal. Left side of the face showed signs of hemi atrophy with minimal drooping of left
Orofacial pain rarely arises from a distant site. It is unusual for orofacial pain to be associated with wasting of the facial musculature and diminished sensation. This case report describes a patient who presented with temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome which was initially
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether MRI can detect atrophy of the trigeminal nerve in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
METHODS
A prospective MRI study was conducted in 39 patients (trigeminal neuralgia, trigeminal neuropathy, or atypical facial pain) and 25 volunteers. Using a coronal orientation (T1
Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia is an exemplary neuropathic pain condition characterized by paroxysmal electric-shock-like pain. However, up to 50% of patients also experiences concomitant continuous pain. In this neuroimaging study,
Interruption of trigeminal pathways still is a common treatment in trigeminal neuralgia and has also been suggested for atypical facial pain. The published results in the latter group are rather poor since only 17 to 24% of these patients were free from pain after surgery. There is no information on
We studied one hundred patients with suspected temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthropathy in whom 64 also complained of headache and/or facial pain, using high field surface coil magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and found that headache and facial pain are commonly observed in association with
Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare condition manifesting with progressive hemifacial atrophy. Although reported PRS clinical disturbances include facial pain and recent studies raised the possibility that PRS-related pain is a neuropathic pain condition due to the trigeminal nerve damage, no
OBJECTIVE
Long-term physical inactivity can cause the atrophy of skeletal muscle. The aim of this study is to explore the underlying mechanisms of physical inactivity-induced atrophy of skeletal muscle.
METHODS
14 Sprague- Dawley (SD) male rats were divided into 2 groups including normal control
A 45-year-old man was admitted with a 4 day history of right facial pain and on examination, there was atrophy of the right side of the tongue. Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated carotid artery dissection and aspirin was commenced.
The clinical and radiologic findings in 30 patients who sustained injuries to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging consisted of variable combinations of radiography, tomography, two-compartment arthrography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging and
To assess whether quantitative measuring methods can help improve the reliability of MRI-based evaluations of the pathological role of a neurovascular conflict between an artery and the trigeminal nerve. In a prospective study, magnetic resonance images were obtained from 62 patients with unilateral
BACKGROUND
Lateral elbow pain is common with a population prevalence of 1%-3%. The study was a comparative trial to validate the efficacy of single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for tennis elbow as compared with single injections of triamcinolone and placebo (normal saline) over a short
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of progressive facial hemiatrophy with unusual features of contralateral brain atrophy and transcranial Doppler ultrasound evidence of autonomic dysfunction.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
A teaching hospital.
METHODS
A 63-year-old man who presented with a 10-year history of
Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a common type of irritant contact dermatitis. It is categorised by persistent erythema and can be associated with denudation and/or colonisation and infection. IAD is challenging to treat and affects 3.4-50% of patients. This case series OBJECTIVE
To characterize the orofacial abnormalities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and compare them with those in a reference population.
METHODS
The study included 30 RA patients and 30 consecutive patients in an odontology clinic in whom RA was ruled out. Patients underwent a
