AGE PECULIARITIES OF CLINIC CLASSIC TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

Abstract

Purpose: The study clinic classic trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in age aspect, and in connection with the transferred destructive interference and development of therapeutic algorithm.Material and methods: Studied clinical features classic TN in 210 patients, which was performed microvascular decompression root of the trigeminal nerve, among them 37 patients with recurrent disease after destructive interventions.Results and summary: The classical TN occurs in persons of working age, while the peak of use for specialized assistance falls on the age more 60. In patients with destructive interventions clinical manifestations of relapse TN combined with heavy deafferentation syndrome caused destructive intervetion. The algorithm of treatment classic TN, consisting of three stages: a) conservative therapy, according to the developed by the author of the method (patent №2438657); b) microvascular decompression root of the trigeminal nerve; c) if microvascular decompression is unsuccessful, destructive intervention may be done, mainly in people of old age.
