Abstract
|
|
|
|
Trigeminal neuralgia is a severe, short-lasting, unilateral facial pain. Diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia is based on clinical signs, symptoms, radiographic imaging, history, and examination. However, atypical trigeminal neuralgia is difficult to diagnose. As the chief complaint of trigeminal neuralgia is associated with jaw use, including eating and talking, misdiagnosis can occur by confusing symptoms associated with temporomandibular disorder. As a result, patient is subjected to unnecessary medical and dental treatments. Here, we present three trigeminal neuralgia cases that were mistaken as temporomandibular disorder. We also present a thorough history and diagnostic medications.
