Chander Prakash, Nishi TanwarNational Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery 2019 10(2):249-252 Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a paroxysmal shock-like pain restricted to innervations of the areas of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, often set off by light stimuli in a trigger zone. Pain attacks occur spontaneously and can also be triggered by a nonpainful sensory stimulus to the skin, intraoral mucosa surrounding the teeth, or tongue. The pathogenesis of TN is uncertain and typically is idiopathic,...

It is a rare condition, the incidence of which varies between 1/400,000 and 1/1.7 million. An important feature of schwannomatosis is the presence of multiple intracranial, spinal, and peripheral schwannomas in the absence of acoustic neuromas. Schwannomatosis presenting with intraosseous schwannoma of the mandible is even rarer,...
