AFP

Here we present another case of a primary osteoma of the orbit presenting with atypical facial pain and discuss the relevant literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Noncompliance

    Eight patients discontinued because of adverse effects and 2 patients were excluded because of noncompliance. Two patients completed the trial but were excluded from the analysis because they experienced no pain at the baseline visit. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Psychiatric Symptoms

    Two patients were followed for a year and have had return of psychiatric symptoms or facial pain; both have been maintained on medication and have returned to normal activities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Psychiatric symptoms of depression and anxiety are prevalent in this population, further compounding the diagnostic conundrum. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Distractibility

    Pain patients are distracted by the pain and sometimes it can be hard to communicate with a new doctor. [medhelp.org]

    She was assured that the treating team believed in the genuineness of pain, but simultaneously, the role of focusing attention and distraction in pain perception was emphasized. [ijpm.info]

  • Facial Pain

    Atypical facial pain is dull and unrelenting and its site is ill-defined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    "facial pain not fulfilling other criteria" (previous IHS definition, which now uses the term "Persistent idiopathic facial pain", see below). [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Unilateral Facial Pain

    METHOD: Thirteen patients with unilateral facial pain and septal contact points with lateral nasal wall structures who met our inclusion criteria were selected for endoscopic septoplasty. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    He described the classic trigeminal neuralgia, including paroxysms of unilateral facial pain, evoked by eating or speaking or touch, starting and ending abruptly, and associated with anxiety. [medlink.com]

  • Facial Numbness

    A tumor that severely compresses or distorts the nerve may cause facial numbness, weakness of chewing muscles, and/or constant aching pain. [tnnme.com]

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia

    Of the 83 patients identified with trigeminal neuralgia where records were adequate, 35 (42%) also had atypical facial pain. Five of these had developed it before the onset of trigeminal neuralgia and could be examples of pretrigeminal neuralgia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In 2005 researchers proposed a new classification of trigeminal neuralgia which described a type of trigeminal neuralgia where the pain was constant and burning. [en.wikipedia.org]

METHODS: Twenty patients with AFP and 12 patients with TNP participated after thorough clinical diagnostic workup. All patients underwent blink reflex (BR) recordings, habituation of the BR, and (except one patient with TNP) thermal QST. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Upon examination and workup, no abnormality is noted. Within the group of chronic facial pain syndromes, PIFP represents a particular diagnostic challenge. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Key points • For several cranial neuralgias, the diagnostic workup should include structural imaging with MRI with and without contrast to evaluate for evidence of inflammation or space-taking lesions, vascular imaging consisting of either MRA or CTA [medlink.com]

Adverse effects were equally common during both treatments. CONCLUSION: Venlafaxine was only modestly effective in the treatment of AFP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Comments on the excellent prognosis in treating the psychiatric syndromes associated with AFP are made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology and Prognosis Because of a lack of agreement on classification criteria, accurate figures on the frequency of PIFP are difficult to obtain. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiological studies are difficult to perform and interpret due to a lack of consensus on the nomenclature and definition of this disorder and the variation in study methodologies. [jcda.ca]

The epidemiology and classification will be discussed and the diagnostic criteria presented together with a brief mention of management. [doi.org]

However, the IASP described PIFP as being rare, less common than trigeminal neuralgia (which has a prevalence of about 0.01–0.3% in the general population), and possessing no available epidemiologic data for estimated prevelence in the general population [en.wikipedia.org]

In a small percentage of patients, anatomical variation prevents the maxillary nerve from being reached by this approach. Remember that the search here is in a superior-inferior direction, as the nerve is passing horizontally in the fissure. [what-when-how.com]
