Abstract
We present a case of trigeminal neuralgia with cranial normal magnetic resonance image (MRI) and computed tomography. The pain was not relieved by carbamazepine and microvascular decompression surgery was done. After two months the pain was similar to the condition before surgery. At this time, MRI showed an expansive lesion in Meckel's cave that was treated with radical resection by extra-dural approach. The pathologic examination revealed a primary melanoma. The follow-up after six months did not show abnormalities.
Apresentamos um caso de neuralgia do trigêmeo com investigação radiológica de ressonância magnética (RM) e tomografia computadorizada apresentando resultado normal. A dor não apresentou alívio com carbamazepina, sendo indicado descompressão microvascular do trigêmio. Passados dois meses, o paciente queixava-se de dor com intensidade similar à do pré-operatório. Nova RM mostrou lesão expansiva no cavo de Meckel, a qual foi tratada cirurgicamente por abordagem extra-dural. O exame anatomopatológico foi compatível com melanoma primário. O seguimento radiológico, após seis meses da cirurgia, não apresentou anormalidades.
