چکیده
Trigeminal neuralgia, or tic douloureux, is a syndrome featuring painful paroxysms in one or more distributions of the trigeminal nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia is relatively uncommon, with an annual incidence of 4 to 13 cases per 100,000 population. It is more common in women than in men, with a female-to-male ratio of 1.7 : 1. Affected persons typically are between 50 and 69 years of age, and symptoms occur more frequently on the right side of the face.
