Trigeminal Neuralgia Post Craniectomy?

Trigeminal Neuralgia Post Craniectomy?

Posted By Anneliese on June 18, 1999 at 09:16:28
Hi CCF,   I was wondering if Trigeminal Neuralgia effects the optic nerve in anyway.  I had craniectomy last month for Arnold-Chiari Malformation,post op experiencing what my doctor feels maybe Trigeminal Neuralgia.  I get piercing pain along my left side of my face running along my left Temple seeming to stopping at the top of my head.  My pupil in my left eye seems to change during attacks where it blows out larger than the right, along with blurred vision in left eye.  
I don't know if my symptoms are Trigeminal Neuralgia or Migraines.  My doctor wants me to keep a log of these attacks for record for figuring what maybe the cause.
Any light you could shed my way would be helpful all TN vs Migraines.
Thanks, Anneliese
