The etiology of trigeminal neuralgia is poorly understood. Many patients develop neuralgiform types of pain from buccal and dental pathologies. This is a case of a man, 83 years old, with diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia. He was treated with Ibuprofen, Rofecoxib and Tramadol by general physicians and internist, without alleviation of symptoms. After a complete buccal and dental examination, were ordered panoramic and periapical X-rays. A diagnosis of necrosis and periapical lesion of the first lower right molar was made. Endodontic treatment was instituted and the symptoms gradually disappeared. After two months, the pain was completely eliminated. |
