Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Dermatology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition characterized by ulceration of the face.
  • It is often associated with neurological deficits affecting the trigeminal nerve.

Observation:

  • This case report presents a 51-year-old woman who developed TTS after undergoing a craniectomy.
  • The patient exhibited self-induced trauma to the skin in the trigeminal area, leading to trophic ulceration.

Findings:

  • The development of TTS following craniectomy highlights a potential iatrogenic complication.
  • Treatment was challenging due to the patient's concurrent psychological problems, indicating a complex interplay of factors.

Implications:
