Lesion in Trigeminal Nerve
- sensory
- Peripheral & Central
Lesion in Trigeminal Nerve
- Sensory
- Motor
- Reflexes
Lesion in Trigeminal Nerve
- sensory Peripheral Lesion
- Loss of sensations on the same side of the face (sparing the angle of the angle of the mandible).
- Loss of general sensations over the anterior 2/3 s of the tongue, (in lesions of the mandibular division).
Lesion in Trigeminal Nerve
- Motor Lesion
- Weakness of the muscles of mastication on the same side of the lesion.
- Deviation of the jaw to the affected side due to the unopposed action of the pterygoid muscles of the healthy Side
Lesion in Trigeminal Nerve
- Sensory Central Lesion
Lesion in Trigeminal Nerve
- Reflexes Affected
Def of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Severe attacks of pain along one or more of the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve, usually the maxillary or mandibular.
Etiology of Trigeminal Neuralgia
CP of Trigeminal Neuralgia
CP of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Site & reference
- One or more branches of the TN (usually the maxillary or mandibular).
- Pain is unilateral (rarely bilateral).
CP of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- characters & Duration
- Severe agonizing: stabbing, burning, electric shocks.
- Several seconds to several minutes (rarely hours or even longer).
- Recurrent: but the patient is completely free in between the attacks.
CP of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- PPT by
Movements of the jaw: e.g. laughing & mastication.
CP of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Relieved By
Spontaneously, or by potent analgesics.
CP of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Associated Symptoms
Pain → brief muscle spasm of the facial muscles → tic.
