| supraorbital neuralgia | Neuralgia of the supraorbital nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| symptomatic neuralgia | Neuralgia occurring as a symptom of some local or systemic disease not involving primarily nerve structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending tract of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A compact fibre bundle, comma-shaped on transverse section, composed of primary sensory fibres of the portio major of the trigeminal nerve, descending from the level of the entrance of the trigeminus in the upper pons down through the dorsolateral region of the rhombencephalic tegmentum along the lateral side of the descending or spinal nucleus of the trigeminus, emerging on the dorsolateral surface of the lower medulla oblongata as the tuberculum cinereum, and continuing as far as the second cervical segment of the spinal cord. Its fibres are distributed to the descending or spinal nucleus of the trigeminus. Synonym: tractus spinalis nervi trigemini, descending tract of trigeminal nerve, tractus descendens nervi trigemini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic neuralgia | <symptom> Nerve pain not due to any apparent cause. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intercostal neuralgia | Pain in the chest wall due to neuralgia of one or more of the intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital neuralgia | <syndrome> A clinical complex of pain, tenderness, tight neck musculature, vasomotor instability, and ill-defined symptoms such as dizziness and blurred vision as the result of trauma to the neck. Also variously termed occipital or suboccipital neuralgia or neuritis; cervical tension syndrome; cervical myospasm, myositis, or fibrositis. Synonym: cervical fibrositis, cervical tension syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epileptiform neuralgia | <neurology> A disorder of trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) dysfunction. Synonym: tic douloureux. Characterised by excruciating paroxysms of pain in the lips, gums, cheek or chin, and, very rarely, in the distribution of the eye (ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve). (27 Sep 1997) |
| trifacial neuralgia | <neurology> A disorder of trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) dysfunction. Synonym: tic douloureux. Characterised by excruciating paroxysms of pain in the lips, gums, cheek or chin, and, very rarely, in the distribution of the eye (ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve). (27 Sep 1997) |
| trigeminal | <anatomy> Of, pertaining to, or designating, the fifth pair of cranial nerves, which divide on each side of the head into three main branches distributed to the orbits, jaws, and parts of the mouth; trifacial. See: Trigeminous. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| trigeminal caudal nucleus | The caudal portion of the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (trigeminal nucleus, spinal), a nucleus involved with pain and temperature sensation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trigeminal cave | The cleft in the meningeal layer of dura of the middle cranial fossa near the tip of the petrous part of the temporal bone; it encloses the roots of the trigeminal nerve and the trigeminal ganglion. Synonym: cavum trigeminale, Meckel's cavity, Meckel's space, trigeminal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigeminal cavity | The cleft in the meningeal layer of dura of the middle cranial fossa near the tip of the petrous part of the temporal bone; it encloses the roots of the trigeminal nerve and the trigeminal ganglion. Synonym: cavum trigeminale, Meckel's cavity, Meckel's space, trigeminal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigeminal crest | That part of the cranial neural crest from which the ganglion of the fifth cranial nerve develops. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigeminal decompression | Decompression of the trigeminal nerve root. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigeminal ganglion | The semilunar-shaped ganglion containing the cells of origin of most of the sensory fibres of the trigeminal nerve. It is situated within the dural cleft on the cerebral surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone and gives off the ophthalmic, maxillary, and part of the mandibular nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
