The relevant anatomy will be extensively reviewed with an emphasis on key surgical points that maximize the effectiveness of treatment both in standard pathologic findings as well as atypical presentations, recurrences after treatment and lesion related symptoms. A treatment algorithm will be presented and the nuances of treatment decision making will be extensively discussed. |
| Learning Objectives: | After completing this educational activity, participants should be able to:
• Discuss the standard techniques for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia
• Explain the decision making process regarding which treatment modality is “best” for the patient Discuss the current thoughts regarding the pathophysiology of trigeminal neuralgia
• Explain the diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia versus atypical facial pain
• Discuss the issues related to recurrence of trigeminal neuralgia following treatment as well as the subsequent treatment of these patients |
