Abstract: Trigeminal neuralgia is associated with various symptoms. Its causes are also diverse, including oral infection, tumorous lesions, and vascular compression of nerves. Trigeminal neuralgia with intracranial disease is rarely encountered in daily medical practice.We describe our experience with trigeminal neuralgia caused by intracranial disease. This case was diagnosed by early head CT scan and improved after cerebral nerve surgery.
