Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Atypical cranial dystonia following dental procedures can cause facial pain and phantom phenomena.
  • Migraine patients are prone to cephalic phantom phenomena post-dental work.
  • Wynne syndrome involves hereditary deafness and supernumerary teeth.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old woman with chronic migraine developed right facial dystonia and pain after gum resection.
  • She reported a sensation of phantom supernumerary teeth.
  • The patient also had bilateral sensorineural deafness.

Findings:

  • Clinical and imaging studies, including MRI and CT scans, were normal.
  • The patient presented with a unique combination of facial dystonia, pain, and phantom supernumerary teeth.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Symptoms suggest a link between dental procedures, migraine, and neurological phenomena.

    • Implications:

    • This case presents an unusual manifestation of cranial dystonia with phantom supernumerary teeth.
    • It underscores the importance of considering neurological conditions in unexplained facial pain and spasms.
    • The presentation may be misdiagnosed as psychogenic pain if dystonia is subtle.
