Artwork illustrating trigeminal neuralgia
Artwork illustrating trigeminal neuralgia, showing nerves (yellow) and muscle (red) in a woman's face. Trigeminal neuralgia (also called tic douloureux) is a severe burning or stabbing pain that affects the branches of the trigeminal nerve, the fifth and largest of the cranial nerves. The trigeminal nerve is split into three divisions: the ophthalmic (eyes), maxillary (facial) and mandibular (jaw) nerves. Branches of the maxillary nerve to the cheek are the main features in this illustration.
