Explanation / Answer

1) Trigeminal neuralgia: Trigeminal neuralgia is characterised by intense pain along the distribution of Trigeminal nerve branches in face. The pain originates in the angle of jaw and radiates along the junctional lines. It is also known as tic douloureax and is due to Inflammation of trigeminal nerve. The exact cause is not known but associated more frequently with sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. It occurs commonly in males over 60 years of age. Right side of the face is more commonly involved than the left side.

Post herpetic neuralgia: This is the result of complication of herpes zoster infection. The pain is intense and confined to a dermatome area confined to one side of the body. In some persons, pain is accompanied by muscle weakness, tremors and paralysis. Post herpetic neuralgia is usually treated by antivirals like acyclovir or famcyclovir along with analgesics to reduce pain and inflammation.
