Abstract
This is a case report of a 66-year-old female who developed atypical trigeminal neuralgia over ophthalmic-V1 and maxillary-V2 divisions secondary to a posterior communicating artery aneurysm (1.5 cm). Literature review of similar cases, description of the pain, its distribution, the aneurysm features, the pathophysiology, and the patient's management and outcome are presented.
