Abstract EN
Background.
Central pain mimicking trigeminal neuralgia (TN) as a result of lateral medullary infarction or Wallenberg syndrome has been rarely reported.
Case Report.
We discuss a patient who presented with a lateral medullary infarct and shortly after developed facial pain mimicking TN.
We also elaborate on the anatomical pathway of the trigeminal nerve explaining facial pain as a result of a lateral medullary lesion.
Discussion.
Clinicians should be aware of this typical complication of lateral medullary infarct in order to attain proper management and work-up.
