Trigeminal Neuralgia in Two Patients With Glioblastoma

Abstract: Headache in glioblastoma patients often indicates raised intracranial pressure by either tumor edema or tumor progression. We report local glioblastoma growth causing cranial nerve lesions as well as trigeminal neuralgia, and highlight pain management in these patients.

“…Little is known about drug treatment of pain in patients with brain tumors, which might also be due to several pathogenetic factors (hydrocephalus, swelling caused by tumor mass, cranial nerve infiltration, or infiltration of the meninges, treatment-related diffuse pain resulting from immobilization, plateau waves, etc.). [14][15][16][17] Opioids seem to be appropriate in the treatment of respiratory distress in cancer patients in the terminal phase of the disease. [18][19][20] This might be also true for equivalent symptoms in brain tumor patients, however no valid data are available.…”

“…[12459] There are also other etiologies mentioned for TN including, infiltration of the nerve root, Gasserian ganglion or branches by a tumor or amyloidoma,[1391112] small infarcts, angioma or cavernoma in the pons, medulla, or REZ,[12716] chemical irritation by neoplastic factors,[2111214] herniation of the temporal lobe,[2] chronic subdural hematoma, hydrocephalous[4] posterior fossa tumors,[5814] contralateral posterior fossa tumors,[58] ipsilateral and contralateral supra tentorial tumors,[468912] basilar invagination,[8] and Chiari malformation.

“…Recent literature has enlarged the differential diagnosis of TN to include several rare causative lesions. Compression of the trigeminal nerve resulting in paroxysmal pain has been described in exceptional cases of Chiari malformation [15], Dandy-Walker cyst [16], and glioblastoma [17]. Posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations may give rise to TN [18].…”
