Cranial Nerves: Types Part I01:14

Cranial Nerves: Types Part I

Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves, with the first six being essential in sensory perception, motor control, and autonomic functions related to the head and neck.
Olfactory Nerve (Cranial Nerve I)
The olfactory nerve, or cranial nerve I, is unique as it is purely sensory and dedicated to the sense of smell. This nerve originates in the olfactory epithelium of the...
Major Somatic Sensory Pathways01:28

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

Sensory impulses related to touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception from various body parts, such as the limbs, trunk, neck, and posterior head, travel to the cerebral cortex through the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The pathway’s name derives from the two white-matter tracts that convey the impulses: the spinal cord's posterior column and the brainstem's medial lemniscus. First-order sensory neurons extend their axons into the spinal cord, forming the posterior columns...
Sympathetic Pathways: Sympathetic Chain Ganglia01:20

Sympathetic Pathways: Sympathetic Chain Ganglia

The sympathetic chain ganglia, also known as the sympathetic trunk ganglia or paravertebral ganglia, are a series of ganglia located bilaterally on either side of the spinal column. These ganglia serve as relay stations for the sympathetic nervous system. Preganglionic neurons originating in the spinal cord project their axons to the sympathetic chain ganglia. Within the ganglia, these preganglionic fibers synapse with postganglionic neurons.The postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic trunk...
Transient Ischemic Attack l: Introduction01:26

Transient Ischemic Attack l: Introduction

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief episode of neurological dysfunction caused by a temporary, focal reduction in cerebral blood flow. Although symptoms resemble those of an ischemic stroke, the interruption in perfusion is short-lived and does not cause permanent infarction. TIAs are clinically important because they often serve as early warning events for future stroke.Mechanisms of Transient Cerebral IschemiaTransient cerebral ischemia may arise through several mechanisms. One...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Dermatology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition characterized by painless facial ulceration.
  • It results from trigeminal nerve damage, often triggered by stroke or herpes zoster.
  • Altered sensation leads to self-inflicted injuries and erosive ulcers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two cases of TTS with erosive lateral nasal ulcers.
  • To highlight the association with ipsilateral vestibular schwannoma repair.
  • To review the existing literature on trigeminal trophic syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation of two patients.
  • Clinical examination and diagnosis of TTS.
  • Literature review of published TTS cases.

Main Results:

  • Both patients presented with erosive lateral nasal ulcers.
  • A history of ipsilateral vestibular schwannoma repair was noted in both cases.
  • Symptoms of TTS resolved following appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Conclusions:

  • TTS can manifest as erosive lateral nasal ulcers.
  • Vestibular schwannoma repair may be a predisposing factor or associated condition.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for symptom resolution in TTS.
