Trigeminal Neuralgia is usually triggered by stimuli in the area of the trigeminal nerve innervation. However, we reported an exceptional case of a 61-year-old woman who experienced recurrent trigeminal neuralgia solely triggered by seeing a bright light. The Teflon felt placed on the nerve root during the initial surgery was suspected to be the cause of this rare type of pain.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is commonly triggered by stimuli in the area of the trigeminal nerve innervation. We report an exceptionally rare case of a 61-year-old woman who complained of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia, which sole trigger was seeing a bright light. Teflon felt that was placed on the nerve root in the initial surgery was suspected of causing this rare type of trigeminal neuralgia. A reflex circuit linking luminance to trigeminal nerve activity may be implicated in activating a trigeminal nociceptive pathway by a bright light trigger.
