neuralgia/infarction

A 69-year-old woman developed acute pain in the left trigeminal and glossopharyngeal nerve distributions. MR imaging demonstrated a left lateral medullary infarction (LMI) involving the left spinotrigeminal nucleus and tract, nucleus ambiguus, and solitary nucleus. Most patients presenting with

OBJECTIVE AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: We present a case of trigeminal neuralgia resulting from infarction of the root entry zone of the trigeminal nerve. This is the first reported case of an unusual cause of trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS A 71-year-old man presented with severe lancinating pain in the

Background Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) or with autonomic symptoms (SUNA) are grouped together within the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs). However, the SUNCT and SUNA phenotype and management overlap with those of

Although percutaneous radiofrequency trigeminal rhizolysis (RFL) has been used to treat idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia thought secondary to multiple sclerosis, the use of RFL for trigeminal neuralgia caused by brainstem infarction has not been advocated. The authors report two patients with

This paper illustrates the cases of two patients with an acute onset of right brachial neuropathic pain, flaccid paralysis and contralateral thermal and thermal pain hypoesthesia, without posterior column impairment nor pyramidal signs below the segmental lesion. MRI showed right sided spinal cord

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is most commonly caused by vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root entry zone. Secondary trigeminal neuralgia due to ischemic lesion of the pons is very rare. Here we report a patient with a pontine infarct transecting the central trigeminal pathways resulting

Trigeminal neuropathy and neuralgia are most commonly caused by vascular compression. Only 9 cases of trigeminal neuropathy and neuralgia due to pontine infarction have been reported in medical literature. A 68-year-old man presented numbness and sharp pain on the right side of his face. Magnetic

The lowest glycemic threshold for and the risk factors associated with neuropathic pain have not been established. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of neuropathic pain in survivors of myocardial infarction with diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT),

Central cord pain is very difficult to relieve, even with the many kinds of medical and surgical treatments available. Following spinal cord infarctions, central cord pain can develop. The problems that may arise could include limb pain, pelvic pain, difficulties voiding, and difficulties
