Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Treatment of trigeminal trophic syndrome is challenging and often unsatisfactory, particularly in patients with cognitive impairment. We report the novel use of a thermoplastic dressing in two patients with trigeminal trophic syndrome. Use of the dressing resulted in successful healing of ulceration in both patients, which has been maintained in the short term, representing a simple and economical therapeutic option in the management of this difficult condition. |
