Trigeminal neuralgia also known as 'Fothergill's disease' or 'tic douloureux' is a very peculiar disease. The severe pain is paroxystic and can be triggered by a mild cutaneous stimulus on the face or "trigger zone". It can be classified based on its etiology and symptoms. The disease has a wide variety of etiology and clinical presentation. Differential diagnosis of idiopathic facial pain, migraine, temporal arteritis, glossopharyngeal neuralgia can be considered. The management will include both medical and a surgical approach. We present a case of trigeminal neuralgia of the maxillary and mandibular division along with clinical history, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) findings and treatment approach.
