Trigeminal neuropathy (TNO) refers to the dysfunction of sensory or motor functions involving cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve). Trigeminal neuropathy commonly manifests with sensory symptoms such as numbness in the region innervated by the trigeminal nerve, sometimes associated with other paresthesias or pain. Motor symptoms are less common and can present as masticatory weakness. The etiology of trigeminal neuropathy is broad and poses a diagnostic challenge to physicians. Trigeminal neuropathy can sometimes be the first manifestation of a tumor or autoimmune disease. This article aims to educate about the identification and management of trigeminal neuropathy. This activity stresses the role and importance of multidisciplinary team collaboration to provide well-coordinated care for enhanced patient outcomes.
