Abstract
Severe trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is probably the most excruciating pai n experienced in the orofacial region. Apart from the primary idiopath ic form (ITN), this lancinating pain may be secondary to a range of un derlying organic diseases (STN). Diagnosis requires differentiation of these and elimination of other causes of orofacial pain.
