Guttal KS et al. - Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a paroxysmal shock-like pain restricted to the innervations of the areas of one or more trigeminal branches, often set off by light stimuli in a trigger zone. The pathogenesis of TN is uncertain and typically is idiopathic, but it may be due to a structural lesion. Various proposed causes include traumatic compression of the trigeminal nerve by neoplastic or vascular anomalies, infectious agents such as human herpes simplex virus, and intracranial tumors or demyelinating conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
