Question Title: Toxins as Cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Forum: Neurology Forum
Topic: Neuralgia


I have heard that one potential cause of TN is an exposure to toxins. Any further information on what toxins. In my employment, as a workers' compensation loss control specialist, I have been in probably as many different toxic environments as anyone.

I did a medline search over the past 10 years and found 10 papers that deal with TN and etiology. I did not find a single paper listing toxic exposure. Good luck in your search
