“…Tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, intrathecally local anaesthetics and corticosteroids are the medical treatments used. In the surgical approach, peripheral neurectomy, percutaneous gangliolysis, motor cortex stimulation, stereotactic trigeminal nucleotomy, stimulation of the Gasserian ganglion and trigeminal rootlets are used for trigeminal neuropathic pain (3,12,13,16,18,20,21,26,27). However, we performed CT-guided trigeminal tractotomy for the treatment of this special case.…”

“…La termocoagulación con radiofrecuencia del ganglio de Gasser es una de las indicaciones de la RF, que aporta mejores resultados clínicos. En un estudio retrospectivo de 25 años se demuestra una mejoría del 97% que se mantiene cercana al 60% a los 5 años (27). La tasa de mejoría inmediata está por encima del 95% en casi todas las series publicadas, con alivio total del dolor cercano al 80%.…”
