摘要
A 62-year-old woman presented With severe pain in the distribution of the second and third branches of the left trigeminal nerve. Pain was related to an infarct located in the brainstem at the entry of the trigeminal nerve. As pain was refractary to medical therapy, we performed a selective prepontine trigeminal rhizotomy. The procedure resulted in total relief of pain with preservation of sensation in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve.
