Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia is a commonly diagnosed facial pain syndrome. Also known as „Tic Douloureux‟ or „Fothergill‟s Disease‟, it is more commonly seen in females with peak occurrence in the age group of above 50 years. Treatment option ranges from pharmacotherapy to invasive surgical procedures with Peripheral Neurectomy being the oldest, safest and the simplest method that can be followed under local anaesthesia with minimum complications and providing excellent pain relief to the patient. In this case report, we present a case of 58 years old male patient who has undergone Peripheral Neurectomy of the Infraorbital nerve under local anaesthesia.
