Q

What is the function of the Geniculate Ganglion

A

17
Q

What is the famous virus that can affect the Trigeminal Ganglion?

A

Herpes Simplex I virus (Cold sores) - If lesions in the face, virus can get into nerves and hide in trigeminal ganglion

18
Q

Where does the trigeminal ganglion lie?

A

Trigeminal fossa

19
Q

What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?

A

Very painful facial pain. Caused by certain triggers such as touching the face which can cause pain. There is the Superior Cerebellar artery that passes by the Trigeminal ganglion that can impinge on the ganglion and cause pain, due to high BP or aneurysm. A tumor can impinge on the ganglion too
