A case of isolated pure trigeminal motor neuropathy.
Isolated trigeminal neuropathy after cranial trauma is exceptional. A 40-year-old woman was found to have unilateral trigeminal motor paralysis with muscle atrophy, unaccompanied by sensory involvement and without affecting other cranial nerves. She developed this deficit immediately after head trauma.
