Article: Paroxysmal Neuralgia in Pediatric Population- A Diagnostic Dilemma for Physicians and Dental Practioners
ABSTRACT
Paroxysmal neuralgia is relatively uncommon in children. Neuropathic orofacial
pain is a challenge for the clinician, as no obvious dental pathology exists either
clinically or radiographically. Dentist and physician should be able to recognize the
characteristics of neuropathic pain so as to correctly diagnose these conditions
hence avoid unnecessary dental intervention. This article reviews the conditions
with paroxysmal neuralgia in children and available treatment strategies.
