Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a neuropathic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve.
  • Familial occurrence of TN is considered infrequent, suggesting a potential genetic component.

Observation:

  • This report presents a case series of a family, including a couple and their son, diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia.
  • The affected family members exhibited clinical manifestations consistent with TN.

Findings:

  • Detailed clinical features, diagnostic imaging (radiological findings), and treatment outcomes (surgical management) are presented for the affected family.
  • A comprehensive review of existing literature on familial trigeminal neuralgia is included.

Implications:

  • This case series contributes to understanding the infrequent familial form of trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Highlights the importance of considering genetic predisposition in the diagnosis and management of trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Informs neurosurgical approaches and genetic counseling for families with a history of TN.
