Symptoms of trigeminal neuritis

summary

Trigeminal nerve is the fifth of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves, which is one of the mixed cranial nerves. The trigeminal nerve consists of two kinds of fibers. One is the general somatosensory fiber, and its neuron body is located in the trigeminal ganglion composed of pseudo unipolar neurons at the trace of trigeminal nerve in the petrous part of temporal bone in the middle cranial fossa. The sensory root of trigeminal nerve is formed by the central process of trigeminal ganglion. It enters the brain at the junction of pontine arm and pontine base. The nerve fibers that transmit to the head and face touch end in pontine nucleus of trigeminal nerve, and the nerve fibers that transmit to temperature and pain end in spinal trigeminal tract nucleus.
