Definition
Sudden, usually unilateral, severe brief stabbing pain in the distribution of one of more branches of the V nerve (IASP)

Anatomy of Trigeminal nerve
There are three divisions of V nerve: ▪ The ophthalmic (V1) supplies sensation to upper
face including eyes. ▪ The maxillary (V2) supplies sensation to middle
face including upper teeth. ▪ The mandibular (V3) supplies sensation to lower
jaw including anterior two-thirds of tongue. All divisions come from the trigeminal ganglion,
also known as Gasserian ganglion. From the gasserian ganglion, sensory input is
conducted to the trigeminal nuclear complex.

Etiology and Pathophysiology
TN may be idiopathic (primary) or symptomatic (secondary).
Most cases of idiopathic TN are the result of vascular compression of V nerve near its entry into the pons
Symptomatic causes include: multiple sclerosis, tumors, and basilar artery aneurysm or ectasia.
Pathophysiology is not fully elucidated. Demyelinative lesions of trigeminal fibers appear to set up ectopic generation of spontaneous nerve impulses and their ephaptic conduction to adjacent fibers. This may disinhibit pain pathways in the spinal trigeminal nucleus.

Diagnosis
TN remains a clinical diagnosis.A careful search for ipsilateral dental
pathology should be undertaken.Routine imaging is generally not
indicated.MRI and MRA can be performed if
there is suspicion of underlying pathology.

Percutaneous Radiofrequency Rhizotomy (Gasserian Ganglion
Block)It is widely used technique for
treatment of TN.Needle is introduced percutaneously
and passed through the foramen ovale
Then RF lesion is applied (Heating or Pulsed lesion)
Success rate reported more than 75%.

Gamma Knife
Single high dose radiotherapy delivered with exquisite precision to a radiographically defined target, at the junction of trigeminal nerve and brain stem.
Several series of small numbers of patients report high rates of pain relief, with low rates of morbidity, mostly facial numbness.

Balloon Compression of Trigeminal Ganglion
It is done by introduction of a balloon via the percutaneous route
The balloon is then inflated with small volumes 0.5-1 ml of contrast until it occupies Meckel’s cave
Compression times vary from 1 to 6 minutes
Success rate are not dissimilar to other techniques.

Nursing Interventions
Instruct the client to avoid factors that can trigger the attack and result in exhaustion and fatigue.
Avoid foods that are too cold or too hot.
![Page 42: Trigeminal Neurologia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050720/553fda88550346b0758b48fc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Chew foods in the affected side.Use cotton pads gently, wash face
and for oral hygiene.Provide teaching to clients who have
sensory loss as a result of a treatment.

Inspection of the eye for foreign bodies, which the client will not be able to feel, should be done several times a day.
Warm normal saline irrigation of the affected eye two to three times a day is helpful in preventing corneal infection.
![Page 44: Trigeminal Neurologia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050720/553fda88550346b0758b48fc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Dental check ups every 6 months is encouraged, since dental caries will not produce pain.
Explain to the client and his family the disease and its treatments.
