ABSTRACT

Trigeminal trophic syndrome is a rare entity in which cutaneous trophic ulcers develop in trigeminal area after a damage to this nerve. The majority of patients report paraesthesias and repetitive manipulation in the trigeminal area. It should be considerated in patients with chronic nonhealing ulcers of the face and scalp, specially when are unilateral and painless. We report a case of TTS following an acoustic neuroma.
