A RARE CAUSE OF TRIGEMINAL THROPHIC SYNDROME: ISCHEMIC CRANIAL NEUROPATHY

Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare disease characterized by trigeminal anesthesia, facial paresthesia, and ulcerated lesions on the face as a result of damage to the trigeminal nerve due to different causes. Ulceration is most commonly seen as a single lesion on the nasal wing. Multiple ulcerated lesions are rarely encountered in the regions at trigeminal nerve dermatome. Here, a case of TTS presenting with multiple facial ulcerations after ischemic cranial neuropathy is reported.
