Description
Lin Wang, Yanliang Niu, and Lijun Wang reported a rare stroke case in 2026 involving just the trigeminal nerve's sensory fibers. This nerve carries feeling from the face, and a small stroke in the pons can damage part of it. Such cases are easy to mistake for nerve inflammation.
Their patient was a 59 year old man with twenty days of swelling and numbness on the left side of his face and gum. A first clinic had treated him for nerve inflammation without success. Brain imaging showed a small restricted lesion along the sensory path in the pons. He received two antiplatelet drugs, a statin, and pain relief, and improved over three weeks.
