Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is an uncommon medical condition that may be encountered by otolaryngologists and facial plastic surgeons. TTS begins with damage to the trigeminal nerve or its central sensory connections, causing anesthesia in a dermatomal distribution. With repeated scratching and manipulation, an ulceration occurs, often in the alar region. In this multi-institutional report, we summarize a small series of patients with TTS. Treatment options are discussed along with a review of the relevant literature. Although rare, it is important that practicing otolaryngologists be familiar with the classic signs and symptoms of this condition in order to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
三叉神经营养综合征(TTS)是一种不常见的医学病症,耳鼻喉科医生和面部整形外科医生可能会遇到。TTS 始于三叉神经或其中枢感觉连接受损,导致皮节分布区域出现麻醉。经过反复搔抓和操作,会发生溃疡,通常在鼻翼区域。在这份多机构报告中,我们总结了一小系列 TTS 患者。我们讨论了治疗选择,并回顾了相关文献。虽然罕见,但耳鼻喉科医生熟悉这种疾病的典型体征和症状非常重要,以避免延误诊断和治疗。
