title: Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia complicated by lingual nerve dysesthesia.
abstract: The treatment of facial pain disorders has become a multifaceted discipline that involves numerous scientific fields. Diagnostic and treatment modalities may be beneficial to the patient but at times may also complicate the problem and compromise the outcome. We present an interesting case of left trigeminal neuralgia complicated by unassociated lingual nerve dysesthesia.
