dc.description.abstractTrigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux is a commonly diagnosed facial pain syndrome with a female predominance and with peak occurrence in the age group of above 50 years. Treatment options range from conservative pharmacologic therapy to invasive surgical procedures. The mode of treatment is based on patient’s systemic health, compliance and severity of the disease. Peripheral neurectomy is the safest and simplest method that can be accomplished under local anesthesia with minimum risks and excellent pain relief to the patient. However, there are incidences where this mode of treatment also fails to manage the disease, and further surgical options must be considered. In this case report, we present a case of a 50-year-old female patient who has undergone peripheral neurectomy of infraorbital nerve.en_US
