Anaesthesia Dolorosa

ObjectivesPercutaneous balloon compression (PBC) can be offered to medically refractory patients with trigeminal neuralgia who are unsuitable for microvascular decompression. Its associated with up to 4% risk of anaesthesia dolorosa which increases with duration and severity of compression and is more common with repeat procedures. We audited our outcomes for this procedure over last 7 years.DesignRetrospective audit of prospectively collected data.SubjectsAll patients undergoing PBC at our centre.MethodsTheatre and radiology records reviewed to identify patients. Case notes and radiology reviewed for history, diagnosis, details of procedure, immediate symptom relief, complications, further procedures and last follow up. Descriptive, comparative Kaplan Meir analysis undertaken.ResultsTotal 93 patients (4 b/l), 165 procedures. Average follow up 36 months. 24 patients had MS, 17 patients had atypical pain. All except 4 patients had good immediate pain relief. No patient developed anaesthesia dolorosa, 2 patients had transient diplopia, 1 maxillary hematoma and 1 infection. 56 experienced recurrence, 43 needed further surgical intervention. 25 PBC twice, 11 thrice, 4 four times and 1 five times. Average time to first recurrence=32 months. 85% pain free at 1 year and 70% at 2 years.ConclusionsPBC is an effective procedure. With conservative approach, this procedure can be safely repeated.

ABSTRACT Background Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) refers to sharp, lancinating pain in the areas supplied by trigeminal nerve. Both pharmacological and surgical lines of treatments are available for the treatment of TN. Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) is one such surgical technique that is usually advocated for the treatment of TN occurring in elderly patients. Hence, we aim to evaluate the follow-up results of the TN patients treated by the PBC technique. Materials and methods A total of 400 patients were selected for the study who had undergone surgical treatment of TN by percutaneous balloon decompression technique. All the postoperative follow-up records of the patients, clinical history, and complication records of the patients were studied and evaluated. Results Of all the patients included in the study, 353 patients showed improvement clinically after PBC therapy. Out 400, 180 were males and 220 were females. Postoperative complications of the patients during their follow-up were also recorded and it was observed that the most common complication arising after treatment with this technique included facial numbness, masseter muscle weakness, paresthesia, diplopia, and corneal anesthesia. Conclusion One of the most common neuralgic pains affecting the face is the pain of TN. Although numerous lines of treatment options are available for its treatment, all these have one or the other drawbacks. From our results, we can conclude that PBC technique offers more advantages than other surgical modalities and, therefore, should be preferred over other techniques of treatment.

A Prospective Study

OBJECTIVE: Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common facial pain. It may be treated with percutaneous balloon compression (PBC), which is considered to be a safe and efficient procedure. The purpose of this study was to review our results with PBC and to assess the factors influencing the outcome. METHOD: A multivariate analysis was used to study 39 patients during a 50-month postoperative period. RESULTS: There was predominance of the female gender (54%), the right side of the face (84%) and V2V3 roots of trigeminal nerve (33%). The mean age was 62.3 years. No major complications or deaths occurred. Among all variables, postoperative hypoesthesia was the single prognostic factor capable of positively influencing the results (p=0.02). Most patients (80%) were pain-free after 50 months with a 90% satisfaction rate. CONCLUSION: PBC was a safe procedure with low morbidity, no mortality, high approval ratings, and was an important improving on patients' quality of life.
