ABSTRACT
The occurrence of a trigeminal neuropathy associated with connective tissue disease is rare. Trigeminal neuropathy in connective tissue disease is predominantly sensory and it is characterized by numbness, hypesthesia, slurred speech, and touch pain. Although the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuropathy associated with connective tissue disease remains obscure, the main pathologic findings are vasculitis and neuritis. A case of trigeminal neuropathy associated with mixed connective tissue disease is described, and the incidence, symptoms, pathophysiology, treatment of the disease is discussed.
