ABSTRACT
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated systemic condition affecting diverse organs which lately has been increasingly recognized. A 40-year-old male presents intractable trigeminal neuralgia lasting more than a year even with numerous pain medication, which lead further evaluation. The infiltrative lesion was found involving left pterygopalatine fossa where maxillary nerve locates. We report a case of IgG4-RD with a sole manifestation of intractable unilateral trigeminal neuralgia which was improved by steroid treatment.
