Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting one or more distributions of the trigeminal nerve. Patients with this condition experience short, sharp, shooting pain attacks, which can progress to longer, more frequent durations. The pain is often difficult to control. We report of a man who was admitted with severe neuralgia of the third division of the trigeminal nerve. Talking and any oral intake triggered a severe agonising pain. The latter made the regular oral intake of analgesia challenging. The pain was temporarily controlled with frequent local anaesthesia (LA). Dental core trainees were performing regular inferior alveolar nerve blocks which significantly improved patients’ condition allowing him to communicate and have oral intake. Subsequently, a catheter was placed allowing for a continuous anaesthesia. The connecting tube of the cannula was then used by nursing staff to administer LA providing pain relief without the need of repeated intraoral injections.

A 51-year-old woman was referred to oral medicine with a 2-month history of progressive paraesthesia of the right lip, chin and oral mucosa. Examination revealed decreased sensation to the right dermatone of the inferior alveolar nerve and allodynia to light touch of the lower lip. An MRI of the head revealed bilateral cisternal trigeminal nerve pathological enhancement. While blood tests suggested a connective tissue disorder as the cause of the trigeminal neuralgia, a subsequent diagnosis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer gave a differential diagnosis of paraneoplastic syndrome.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) typically occurs in patients in their late 50s, and criteria for the diagnosis include recurrent unilateral brief electric shock-like pain that is abrupt in onset and termination.1 Pain is usually restricted to second and third divisions and triggered by innocuous sensory stimuli.1 Depending on etiology, TN is categorized as classical when related to compression of the nerve by an impacting blood vessel; secondary, due to major neurologic disease, especially multiple sclerosis and tumors; or idiopathic if diagnostic investigations fail to show any cause.1-2

Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a disorder characterized by pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Chronic pain secondary to this condition can have a significant negative impact on a patient’s quality of life. We present an educational case of refractory trigeminal neuralgia responsive to a novel painalleviating procedure. An 80-year-old man with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia presented with episodic pain refractory to multimodal pharmacologic treatment, as well as interventional pain procedures. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the mandibular and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve was attempted, but deemed unsuccessful. In an attempt to relieve the patient’s pain in the mandibular region, an inferior alveolar nerve block with radiofrequency ablation was performed. The patient reported a significant longterm reduction of his pain and improved ability to perform activities of daily living. Key words: Trigeminal neuralgia, tic douloureux, radiofrequency ablation, trigeminal nerve, inferior alveolar nerve

The legume seed coat is the site of sucrose unloading and the metabolism of imported ureides and synthesis of amino acids for the developing embryo. The cell types directly responsible for these functions in the seed coat are not known. We recently described a convex layer of tissue on the inside surface of the soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seed coat that was termed “antipit” because it was in direct opposition to the concave pit on the abaxial surface of the cotyledon. Cone cells of the antipit contained numerous hypertrophied Golgi apparatus and laminated rough endoplasmic reticulum common to actively secreting cells. The initial report by Dzikowski (1936) described the morphology of the pit and antipit in G. max and found these structures in only 68 of the 169 seed accessions examined.
