Trigerninal trophic syndrome: A case and review

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0190-9622(82)80200-4Get rights and content

A 26-year-old woman developed a well-circumscribed, bleeding ulcer at the right nasolabial area 28 months after the recurrence of a posterior fossa meningioma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of trigeminal trophic syndrome following an intracranial meningioma. Clinical data from sixty-three cases of trigeminal trophic syndrome in the English literature are reviewed, and etiologic factors are discussed.
