• It is mixed nerve
( sensory and motor )
The trigeminal nerve is the primary sensory neuron supplying the head
and neck, and its branches are never far from the operating field of the
oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
THE TRIGEMINAL SYSTEM
• Nucleus
• Root
• Ganglion
• Nerve
What is
GANGLION & NUCLEUS
TRIGEMINAL Ganglion
THE TRIGEMINAL GANGLION
• SEMILUNAR OR GASSERIAN GANGLION.
• LOCATION:
lies in a bony fossa at apex of the petrous temporal bone on floor of
middle cranial fossa.
COVERINGS: covered by dural pouch = MECKLES CAVE
ARTERIAL SUPPLY: Ganglionic branches of Internal Carotid Artery,
middle meningeal artery and accessory meningeal artery.
TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS
• A cranial nerve nucleus is a collection of neurons (gray matter) in the
brain stem that is associated with one or more cranial nerves
• Sensory Nuclei
• Motor Nuclei
SENSORY NUCLEI
• 1.Mesencephalic nucleus
• 2.Principal sensory nucleus
• 3.Spinal nucleus
MOTOR NUCLEI

• Branches - The frontal nerve courses outside and superolateral to the
annular tendon and divides into
• Supratrochlear Nerve
• Supraorbital Nerve
SUPRATROCHLEAR NERVE
• Smaller nerve

SUPRAORBITAL NERVE
• Larger nerve
• Lateral branch
• Passes through supraorbital Foramen
• The nerve innervates the upper eyelid, the mucous membrane of
the frontal sinus of the frontal bone, It ascends on the forehead,
dividing into a smaller medial and a lateral branch, which supply the
skin of the scalp nearly as far back as the lambdoid suture
NASOCILLIARY NERVE
• Purely Sensory
• Passes through middle part of superior orbital fissure within the
tendenious ring .
• Runs along medial wall of orbit between Superior Oblique and Medial
Rectus
•
Branches
• 1. Short Clliary Nerves: sensory root of Cilliary Ganglion

upper half of the nose
• 5.Anterior Ethmoidal Nerve: Skin of Lower half of the nose
Superior orbital fissure.
• The superior orbital fissure (SOF) is the narrow cleft through which the orbit
communicates with the middle cranial fossa.
• The SOF is situated between the greater and lesser wings and body of the
sphenoid bone. It has a somewhat triangular shape
• L: lacrimal nerve (branch of CN V1)
• F: frontal nerve (branch of CN V1)
• S: superior ophthalmic vein (tributary to cavernous sinus)
• T: trochlear nerve (CN IV)

• IO: inferior division of the oculomotor nerve (CN III)
• A: abducens nerve (CN VI)
The Superior Orbital Fissure Syndrome
• The superior orbital fissure syndrome (SOFS) is characterized by
ophthalmoplegia, ptosis and proptosis of the eye, fixation and dilation
of the pupil and anaesthesia of the upper eyelid and forehead.
• fractures of the orbit
• neoplasm of the retrobulbar space
• haematoma in the orbital muscle cone
Treatment
• Conservative treatment through observation alone has been suggested due
to the operative difficulty and risk of further injury from surgical
exploration.

of the lateral pterygoid, below the inferior portion of the temporal muscle,
• It emerges from the undersurface of the ramus of the mandible and the anterior
border of the masseter muscle
• The buccal nerve was found to lie 3 cm lateral to the angle of the mouth
• 4.Deep temporal nerve- There are anterior and posterior deep temporal nerves.
Passes between skull, and enters deep surface of the temporalis
Branches Of Posterior Division
Auriculotemporal Nerve
• Arises from 2 roots which run backwards and encircle the middle
meningeal artery and form single trunk,
• The trunk passes posterior to lateral pterygoid between neck of
mandible and sphenomandibular ligament
Branches
• The anterior auricular branch provides somatosensory innervation to the skin of
the ear, including the tragus and part of the helix.
• The articular branch provides somatosensory innervation to the posterior
temporal mandibular joint
• The parotid branch receives its preganglionic fibers from the lesser petrosal
nerve. This branch provides secretomotor innervation via parasympathetic fibers
to the parotid gland.
• The superficial temporal branches run posterior to the superficial temporal
artery. These branches provide somatosensory innervation to the skin over the
temple. This branch also anastomoses with the facial nerve and
zygomaticotemporal nerve.
• The branch to the external auditory meatus provides somatosensory innervation
to the skin of the meatus as well as the tympanic membrane.
Freys syndrome
Frey syndrome is a postoperative phenomenon following salivary gland surgery and less commonly neck
dissection, facelift procedures, and trauma that is characterized by gustatory sweating and flushing
It described sweating and flushing in the preauricular area in response to mastication or a salivary
stimulus.
Symptoms
Flushing
Sweating
Burning
Neuralgia
itching.
Examination
• blue/brown in the presence of iodine and sweat
THE PREVENTION
• Increased Skin Flap Thickness
• Muscle Flaps
• Botox
• Frey L. Le syndrome du nerf auriculo-temporal. Revue Neurologique
1923;2: 92–104. 2. Freedberg A, Shaw R, McManus J. The auriculotemporal
syndrome. A clinical and pharmacologic study. J Clin Invest 1948;27(5):669–
76.
Inferior alveolar nerve
• Is mixed nerve
• Sensory branches are the incisive nerve, the mental nerve, and the
nerve to the lower premolars and molars. The motor branch is the
nerve to the mylohyoid
Runs vertically downwards medial to lateral pterygoid and
lateroposterior to lingual nerve. Then moves between the
sphenomandibular ligament and medial surface of mandibular ramus
• Enters mandible through mandibular foramen to run in a bony canal
below the teeth
Branches
• 1.Mylohyoid: Arises just before the nerve enters mandibular
foramen.It pierces the sphenomandibular ligament along with
mylohyoid muscle and runs in the mylohyoid goove. Supplies to
mylohyoid muscle.
• 2.Branches to lower teeth and gums.
• 3.Mental nerve : It exits canal and divides into three branches
innervating skin of chin and skin and mucous membrane of the lower
lip.
• 4.Incisive nerve : It remains within the canal and form plexus that
innervates pulpal tissue of first premolar canine and incisors through
dental branches.
Lingual nerve
• The lingual nerve is the main branch of the posterior division of V3
that provides sensation to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and
gingiva variably along the lingual side of the mandibular teeth.
Lingual Nerve Injury
Lingual nerve injury causing numbness, dysesthesia, paresthesia, and dysgeusia may complicate invasive dental
and surgical therapies
Trigeminal nerve injuries have been reported following tooth removal, tumor removal, osteotomy, distal wedge
techniques, implant placement, and general dental therapies such as nerve block, crown preparation, and
endodontic procedures
Examination of trigeminal nerve
1- Sensation Function
2- Motor Function
3- Corneal reflex
Sensation function
• use sterile sharp item on forehead, cheek, and jaw If any abnormality
present we test the thermal sensation and light touch
Motor Function
• Palpate Temporal & Masseter muscle as the patient clenches the
teeth.
Corneal Reflex
• a clean piece of cotton wool and ask the patient to look away gently
touch the cornea with the cotton wool and the patient will blink
Trigeminal Neuralgia
INTRODUCTION
• Trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux is a neuropathic disorder of
trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in eyes, lips,
scalp, forehead and jaws.
• It has been labeled as suicide disease due to insignificant number of
people taking their own life because they are unable to have their
pain controlled by medication or surgery.
• It is a truly agonizing condition, in which the patient may clunch the
hand over the face & experience severe, lancinating pain associated
with spasmodic contractions of the facial muscles during attacks
Pathophysiology
Atherosclerotic blood vessel pressing on the root of trigeminal
nerve
Focal demyelination
Hyperexcitability of nerve fibres.
Episode of intense pain
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
• INCIDENCE : It is a rare affliction, seen in about 4 in 1,00,000 persons.
• AGE OF OCCURRENCE: 5th or 6th decade
• SEX PREDILECTIONS: with female predispositions 58%
• AFFLICTION FOR SIDES : Predilections for right side is noted 60%
• DIVISION OF TRIGEMINAL NERVE INVOLVEMENT : V3 is more commonly involved than
V2 division. Very rarely V1 ophthalmic division is involved in about 5% of cases (only
sensory division is affected)
SYMPTOMS
• Sudden burning or shock like facial pain
• episodes can be 5 seconds to 2 minutes
• multiple occurence per day are possible
• no pain between attacks
• talking, eating, brushing teeth, or even cool air on the face
• Flurries of episodes can occur from weeks to months then stop abruptly for a month or yar at
a time
• there is no loss of taste ir hearing in someone suffering from tic doulerex
TRIGGER FACTORS
• Hair brushing and cleaning of
teeth
• tilting head and shaving
• Stress and tiredness
• Cold and hot weather
• Chewing and swallowing
• Touching and washing face
• Light breeze and wind on face
DIAGNOSIS
1. The pain paroxysmal
2. The pain may be provoked by light touch to the face(trigger zones)
3. The pain is confident to trigeminal distribution
4. The pain is unilateral
5. The clinical sensory examination is normal.
PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
• FIRST LINE OF APPROACH
Carbamazepine 100, 200mg..
• SECOND LINE OF APPROACH
Phenytoin 100mg
Baclofen 5-80 mg  day
Lamotrigine 25 mgday
SURGERY
• The decision to opt for surgery is based on response to and side
effects from medical treatment, the patient’s age and profession, and
the surgical facilities and expertise available.
• Surgery may be aimed peripherally at the affected nerve or centrally
at the trigeminal ganglion.
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
• PERIPHERAL INJECTION: It has been known that injection of
destructive substance into peripheral branches of the trigeminal
nerve, produces anesthesia in the trigger zones or in areas of
distribution of spontaneous pain.
(A) LONG ACTING ANAESTHETIC AGENTS: Without adrenaline such as
bupivacaine with or without corticosteroids may be injected at the
most proximal possible nerve site.
• (B) ALCOHOL INJECTION: 0.5 – 2 ml of 95 % absolute alcohol can be
used to block the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve. Aim is
to destroy the nerve fibers. It produces total numbness in the region
of distribution of the nerve that was anaesthetized.
Complication:
• Necrosis of the adjacent tissue
• Fibrosis
• Alcohol induced neuritis
Gamma Knife Radio Surgery
Peripheral Neurectomy
• Oldest and most effective method.
• Mostly performed on the infraorbital nerve, inferior alveolar nerve,
mental nerve and rarely lingual nerve.
LINGUAL NEURECTOMY:
• An incision is made in the anterior border of the ramus slightly
towards the lingual side.
• The lingual aspect is exposed & the lingual nerve identified in the
third molar region just below the periosteum.
• The nerve can be either avulsed or ligated, cut and the ends may be
cauterized.
Cryotherapy
• Direct application of cryoprobe (temperature -60°) intraorally to the
affected nerve producing wallerian degeneration of the affected
nerve.
• In this, the nerve is not sectioned but destroyed.
Conclusion
• Trigeminal Neuralgia has been an enigma to physicians for a long
course of time. There have been various advances in the
understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease per se and the
treatment modalities.
• However various treatment modalities suggests dissatisfaction with
any one single procedure.
• Hence the golden rule still remains optimum scrutinisation and
authentic diagnosis which is a key to the success of any treatment

  • 65. Corneal Reflex • a clean piece of cotton wool and ask the patient to look away gently touch the cornea with the cotton wool and the patient will blink
  • 67. INTRODUCTION • Trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux is a neuropathic disorder of trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in eyes, lips, scalp, forehead and jaws. • It has been labeled as suicide disease due to insignificant number of people taking their own life because they are unable to have their pain controlled by medication or surgery.
  • 68. • It is a truly agonizing condition, in which the patient may clunch the hand over the face & experience severe, lancinating pain associated with spasmodic contractions of the facial muscles during attacks
  • 69. Pathophysiology Atherosclerotic blood vessel pressing on the root of trigeminal nerve Focal demyelination Hyperexcitability of nerve fibres. Episode of intense pain
  • 70. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS • INCIDENCE : It is a rare affliction, seen in about 4 in 1,00,000 persons. • AGE OF OCCURRENCE: 5th or 6th decade • SEX PREDILECTIONS: with female predispositions 58% • AFFLICTION FOR SIDES : Predilections for right side is noted 60% • DIVISION OF TRIGEMINAL NERVE INVOLVEMENT : V3 is more commonly involved than V2 division. Very rarely V1 ophthalmic division is involved in about 5% of cases (only sensory division is affected)
  • 71. SYMPTOMS • Sudden burning or shock like facial pain • episodes can be 5 seconds to 2 minutes • multiple occurence per day are possible • no pain between attacks • talking, eating, brushing teeth, or even cool air on the face • Flurries of episodes can occur from weeks to months then stop abruptly for a month or yar at a time • there is no loss of taste ir hearing in someone suffering from tic doulerex
  • 72. TRIGGER FACTORS • Hair brushing and cleaning of teeth • tilting head and shaving • Stress and tiredness • Cold and hot weather • Chewing and swallowing • Touching and washing face • Light breeze and wind on face
  • 73. DIAGNOSIS 1. The pain paroxysmal 2. The pain may be provoked by light touch to the face(trigger zones) 3. The pain is confident to trigeminal distribution 4. The pain is unilateral 5. The clinical sensory examination is normal.
  • 74. PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT • FIRST LINE OF APPROACH Carbamazepine 100, 200mg.. • SECOND LINE OF APPROACH Phenytoin 100mg Baclofen 5-80 mg day Lamotrigine 25 mgday
  • 75. SURGERY • The decision to opt for surgery is based on response to and side effects from medical treatment, the patient’s age and profession, and the surgical facilities and expertise available. • Surgery may be aimed peripherally at the affected nerve or centrally at the trigeminal ganglion.
  • 76. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT • PERIPHERAL INJECTION: It has been known that injection of destructive substance into peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve, produces anesthesia in the trigger zones or in areas of distribution of spontaneous pain. (A) LONG ACTING ANAESTHETIC AGENTS: Without adrenaline such as bupivacaine with or without corticosteroids may be injected at the most proximal possible nerve site.
  • 77. • (B) ALCOHOL INJECTION: 0.5 – 2 ml of 95 % absolute alcohol can be used to block the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve. Aim is to destroy the nerve fibers. It produces total numbness in the region of distribution of the nerve that was anaesthetized. Complication: • Necrosis of the adjacent tissue • Fibrosis • Alcohol induced neuritis
  • 78. Gamma Knife Radio Surgery
  • 79. Peripheral Neurectomy • Oldest and most effective method. • Mostly performed on the infraorbital nerve, inferior alveolar nerve, mental nerve and rarely lingual nerve.
  • 80. LINGUAL NEURECTOMY: • An incision is made in the anterior border of the ramus slightly towards the lingual side. • The lingual aspect is exposed & the lingual nerve identified in the third molar region just below the periosteum. • The nerve can be either avulsed or ligated, cut and the ends may be cauterized.
  • 81. Cryotherapy • Direct application of cryoprobe (temperature -60°) intraorally to the affected nerve producing wallerian degeneration of the affected nerve. • In this, the nerve is not sectioned but destroyed.
  • 82. Conclusion • Trigeminal Neuralgia has been an enigma to physicians for a long course of time. There have been various advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease per se and the treatment modalities. • However various treatment modalities suggests dissatisfaction with any one single procedure. • Hence the golden rule still remains optimum scrutinisation and authentic diagnosis which is a key to the success of any treatment
