Percutaneous glycerol injection into Meckel's cavity is widely used to treat trigeminal neuralgia. Reports published to date summarized clinical experiences in small or intermediately sized groups of patients. The efficacy of this procedure in a large group of patients has not been evaluated so far.
The possible role of dental and oral disease in the etiology of idiopathic trigeminal and atypical facial neuralgias has been examined. Among thirty-eight patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia and twenty-three patients with atypical facial neuralgia, there was in nearly all instances a close
The disorder termed osteocavitation lesion has been described in the literature since at least 1976. This disorder has often been misdiagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia or atypical facial pain, and, unfortunately, patients have either continued to suffer or inappropriate treatment or treatments have
The authors of the present study report on their results with glycerol gained over the past 9 years in 142 cases of trigeminal neuralgia. Initial pain relief was achieved in 64.5% of the cases. The average pain-free interval was 18.6 +/- 5.4 months, in other terms, 50% of the patients remained
The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) in trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Relevant studies were identified by computerized database searches supplemented by manual search strategies. The studies were included in
Out of 520 patients with paranasal sinusitis, 41 subjects (7.9 +/- 2.3%) developed complications in the form of neuralgia of the trigeminal and nasociliary nerves (37 patients) or the pterygopalatine ganglion (4 patients). In this group cases of chronic sinusitis were predominant when compared to
Investigated were 84 patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Clinical traits of the disease were compared for some additional investigation techniques: thermodolorimetry, oral cavity stereognosis, multiparameter personality assessment technique and verbalization of pain experience. The described
Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) has an increasing role in the diagnosis and management of pudendal neuralgia, a neurogenic cause of chronic pelvic pain.The objective of this research was to determine the role of MRN in predicting improved pain outcomes
