Trigeminal neuralgia is a pain syndrome that is defined by sharp electrical shock-like pain that radiates in the sensory distribution of the trigeminal nerve. The classical cause of this syndrome is vascular compression, but other causes, such as stroke, have also been described. Instances of post-ischemic trigeminal pain have been described as meeting the classic description, and are termed trigeminal neuropathy. The treatment paradigms for trigeminal neuralgia versus neuropathy differ significantly, especially with the consideration of surgical management.We present a case of a 78-year-old man with post-ischemic trigeminal neuropathy that was successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation after failure of conservative management.We also summarize three previous cases of post-ischemic trigeminal neuropathy that were also successfully treated with percutaneous surgical treatment, showing that percutaneous surgical management should be considered in patients with post-ischemic trigeminal neuropathy that fail conservative management.
