Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) complicated with temporal arteritis (TA) is not a common disease, but it is a very important syndrome to consider for diagnosing facial pain in individuals older than 50 years. We therefore report on a rare case of TN with TA that occurred simultaneously on the same side with each symptom responding to specific treatment.
三叉神经痛(TN)合并颞动脉炎(TA)并不常见,但对于 50 岁以上人群的面部疼痛诊断,这是一个非常重要的综合征。因此,我们报告了一例罕见的同侧同时发生的 TN 合并 TA 病例,每个症状均对特定治疗有反应。
