The orofacial pain syndromes (OFPs) are a heterogeneous group of syndromes characterized by painful attacks involving the orofacial structures. They may be summarily subdivided into two great categories: (1) orofacial pain mainly attributed to dental disorders such as dentoalveolar and myofascial orofacial pain or temporomandibular joint (TM) pain; (2) orofacial pain mainly attributed to non-dental pain as neuralgias, facial localization of primary headaches or idiopathic orofacial pain. The second group is uncommon, often described by single case reports, can often show overlapping symptoms with the first group, and represents a clinical challenge, carrying the risk of undervaluation and possibly invasive odontoiatric treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study followed untreated children with vertically acquired Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to analyze its natural progression, including rates of viral clearance and autoimmune disorders.
  • Among 45 children studied, 26.7% achieved spontaneous viral clearance, mostly associated with genotype 3, while most displayed increased liver enzyme levels but no symptoms of liver disease.
  • Autoantibodies were found in over half of the children, with some developing rare complications like type-1 diabetes, indicating that while chronic HCV infection is often asymptomatic, there can be mild liver damage and autoimmune responses.
