Pecularities of prosopalgia development during compression of trigeminal nerve branches of traumatic genesis
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze a course of trigeminal nerve (TN) branches prosopalgia in patients with jaw-facial region traumatic injury and to evaluate a role of trigeminal nerve peripheral branches compression in pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia.
Between 1993 and 2000 19 patients with upper and lower jaw fractures underwent operation in Department of Jaw-face Surgery, were examined. All of them had compression of TN second and third branch due to fractures in sites of bone channels that caused pain sensitiveness’ abnormalities in face region. Posttraumatic prosopalgia without typical trigeminal pain paroxysms developed in some of patients.
Thus TN peripheral part compression doesn’t always cause development of trigeminal pain syndrome with revealed aetiopathogenesis and cannot be considered as a simple cause-effect compression mechanism.
