Think of Trigeminal Neuralgia when facial pain is:
✅Sudden
✅Electric shock-like
✅Triggered by touch or chewing
✅Lasting seconds
✅Unilateral
Correct diagnosis is crucial because TN is one of the few severe pain syndromes that often responds remarkably well to appropriate treatment.

▶️Pain is triggered by brushing teeth, shaving and chewing food from the right side.

What is the diagnosis?
✅The diagnosis is classical- it is TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA.
✅However, the purpose of this post is to highlight the MRI brain finding. MRI showed right cerebellopontine angle schwannoma (likely vestibular or trigeminal schwannoma). So, it is a case of secondary trigeminal neuralgia.
✅Take away:
MRI Brain (preferably with contrast and trigeminal nerve protocol) should be done in all patients with trigeminal neuralgia, but it is essential and urgent in younger or atypical cases.
