Entry term(s) neuralgia trigeminal
tic doloroso
Scope note: Síndrome que se caracteriza por episodios recurrentes de dolor lacerante, que dura varios segundos o más, en la distribución sensitiva del NERVIO TRIGÉMINO. El dolor puede iniciarse por la estimulación de puntos gatillo en la cara, labios o encías, por movimientos de los músculos faciales o por la masticación. Entre las afecciones asociadas están la ESCLEROSIS MÚLTIPLE, anomalías vasculares, ANEURISMAS y neoplasias. (Traducción libre del original: Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p187)

Scope note: A syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of excruciating pain lasting several seconds or longer in the sensory distribution of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE. Pain may be initiated by stimulation of trigger points on the face, lips, or gums or by movement of facial muscles or chewing. Associated conditions include MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, vascular anomalies, ANEURYSMS, and neoplasms. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p187)
