Esmail Jorjani was a prominent Persian physician of the 11th and 12th centuries. We present Jorjani's descriptions of probable trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and Bell's palsy. Additionally, on the basis of our translations of his original text, we believe that Jorjani may have been the first to implicate an artery-nerve conflict as an etiology of trigeminal neuralgia. This theory, documented in Jorjani's Treasure of the Khawarazm Shah and elaborated on by Dandy and Jannetta, constitutes the basis of a modern surgical approach to trigeminal neuralgia. The authors also describe the life and works of Esmail Jorjani and review his Treasure for its descriptions related to the aforementioned cranial nerve pathologies.
埃斯梅尔·乔拉吉尼是 11 世纪和 12 世纪波斯著名的医生。我们呈现了乔拉吉尼对可能的三叉神经痛、面肌痉挛和贝尔氏麻痹的描述。此外，根据我们对他原文的翻译，我们相信乔拉吉尼可能是第一个暗示动脉-神经冲突是三叉神经痛病因的人。这一理论在乔拉吉尼的《花剌子模沙宝藏》中有记载，并由丹迪和詹内塔进一步阐述，构成了现代三叉神经痛手术治疗的基础。作者还描述了埃斯梅尔·乔拉吉尼的生平与作品，并对其《宝藏》进行了回顾，以了解其中与上述颅神经病变相关的描述。
