Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an excruciating neurological disorder characterized by intense, stimulus-induced, and transient facial stabbing pain. The classification of TN has changed as a result of new discoveries in the last decade regarding its symptomatology, pathogenesis, and management. Because different types of facial pain have different clinical therapy and neuroimaging interpretations, a precise diagnosis is essential.

Purpose Of Review: This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of nervus intermedius neuralgia (NIN) and identifies gaps in the literature.
Recent Findings: The nervus intermedius is a branch of the facial nerve. NIN presents as a rare neuralgia of this nerve, causing deep ear pain, which may radiate to the auditory canal, auricle, mastoid, soft palate, temple, and angle of the jaw.
Percutaneous ballon compression, a better choice for primary trigeminal neuralgia compared to microvascular decompression?

Department of Neurosurgery, Ward 2. Gansu Provincial Hospital, Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Objective: Demonstrate the superiority of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) compared to trigeminal microvascular decompression (MVD).
Methods: Clinical data, including immediate, short-term, and long-term pain relief, complications, duration of the operation, and postoperative hospital stay, were retrospectively analyzed for 114 patients diagnosed with PTN who were treated with either PBC or MVD between January 2018 and December 2021.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences observed in the pain relief rates between the two surgical methods at 24 h postoperatively (MVD: 91.
Intravenous fosphenytoin therapy for the rescue of acute trigeminal neuralgia crisis in pre- and post-neurosurgical patients: a retrospective observational study.
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Nakamura Memorial Hospital, Sapporo, Japan.
Background: There is no established treatment for the acute exacerbation of trigeminal neuralgia. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous fosphenytoin for this disease.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of data from 41 patients with trigeminal neuralgia who received intravenous fosphenytoin therapy.
Methods for tissue perfusion assessment after Dellon decompression of tarsal tunnels in diabetic neuropathy: key to effective management-a narrative review.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
January 2025
Division of Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background And Objective: Diabetic neuropathy significantly elevates the risk of foot ulceration and lower-limb amputation, underscoring the need for precise assessment of tissue perfusion to optimize management. This narrative review explores the intricate relationship between sympathetic nerves and tissue perfusion in diabetic neuropathy, highlighting the important role of autonomic neuropathy in blood flow dynamics and subsequent compromises in tissue perfusion. The consequences extend to the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and related foot complications.
