Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of trigeminal neuralgia after retinal surgery in a 72-year-old man. Methods: Case report. Results: A 72-year-old man developed severe postoperative pain after undergoing vitrectomy and endolaser therapy. The pain responded to neuroleptic medications once a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia was made. Conclusion: The authors report a case of trigeminal neuralgia developed after vitreoretinal surgery. Clinicians should consider trigeminal neuralgia in the differential diagnosis of atypical pain after retinal surgery. Copyright © Lippincott Williams & Wikins.
