  • Title: Facial pain and muscle atrophy secondary to an intracranial tumour.
    Author: Luyk NH, Hammond-Tooke G, Bishara SN, Ferguson MM.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1991 Jun; 29(3):204-7. PubMed ID: 1873291.
    Abstract:
    Orofacial pain rarely arises from a distant site. It is unusual for orofacial pain to be associated with wasting of the facial musculature and diminished sensation. This case report describes a patient who presented with temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome which was initially successfully managed with splint therapy. She re-presented later with unilateral wasting of the muscles of mastication, facial pain and diminished sensation ipsilaterally. An intracranial meningioma was diagnosed following an extensive series of investigations.
