Popis: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by recurrent, brief unilateral electric shock-like pain, limited to the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, appearing and stopping suddenly, and triggered by stimuli that are normally painless. TN is a clinical diagnosis according to the diagnostic criteria of the international classification of headache disorders. Investigations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrophysiological tests are required to determine the etiology. It is important to know the etiology of NT because of the different therapeutic approaches. In acute exacerbations of TN, the pain intensity increases and the frequency of attacks is very high. This condition causes anorexia and dehydration because drinking or eating will trigger pain attacks. Hospitalization is needed for rehydration, nutritional maintenance, acute pain management and dose adjustment of anti-convulsant drugs as pain prevention or until other measures such as surgery or neuroablatives are carried out as indicated.
