Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report a case of isolated trigeminal sensory neuropathy associated with impairment of taste sensation following acute sinusitis. Sensory disturbance was distributed mainly in the ophthalmic division, and partly in the maxillary and mandibular divisions. No other cranial nerves were involved. An otological procedure resulted in complete recovery. The unique combination of trigeminal neuropathy and abnormal taste seemed to be caused by the infectious process involving the gasserian ganglion of the trigeminal nerve.
