Resumo
As neuralgias são síndromes dolorosas restritas á área de inervação de um
determinado nervo sensitivo craniano. O nervo trigêmeo, anatomicamente o quinto
nervo craniano está ligado de forma direta ao tronco cerebral, sendo um nervo misto,
com funções motoras e sensoriais que veiculam toda a sensibilidade desde o topo
da cabeça, toda a face e maior parte da boca e língua, sendo responsável também
por uma doença neural conhecida como a neuralgia do trigêmeo. A neuralgia do
trigêmeo é um tipo de dor orofacial caracterizada por episódios dolorosos
paroxísticos do tipo “choque elétrico”, com início e término abruptos que duram de
poucos segundos até dois minutos. A dor é desencadeada a partir de pontos-gatilho,
que podem estar presentes na face ou na mucosa bucal e podem ser estimulados
por atividades do cotidiano, como falar, mastigar, fazer a barba, escovar os dentes,
tocar levemente no rosto e por brisa, pode ocorrer repetidamente ao longo do dia,
sintomas que geralmente podem ser confundidos com dores de origem
odontogênica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi fazer uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a
neuralgia do trigêmeo, apresentando seus sinais, sintomas, etiologia, fisiopatologia e
aspectos relevantes para o diagnóstico e opções de tratamento.
Neuralgia are painful syndromes restricted to the innervation area of a particular cranial sensory nerve. The trigeminal nerve, anatomically the fifth cranial nerve, is directly connected to the brainstem, being a mixed nerve that has motor and sensory functions conveying all sensitivity from the top of the head, the entire face and most of the mouth and tongue, and is also responsible for a neural disease known as trigeminal neuralgia.Trigeminal neuralgia is a type of orofacial pain characterized by paroxysmal painful episodes of the "electric shock" type, with abrupt onset and end that last from a few seconds to two minutes. Pain is triggered from trigger points, which can be present on the face or oral mucosa and can be stimulated by everyday activities, such as talking, chewing, shaving or even brushing your teeth, symptoms that can usually be confused with pain of odontogenic origin. The objective of this study was to make a literature review on trigeminal neuralgia, presenting its signs, symptoms, etiology, pathophysiology and aspects relevant to the diagnosis and treatment options.
