社区三叉神经痛患者的患病率：一项回顾性研究

DOI:10.4328/JCAM.5982接收时间：2018年7月29日接受时间：2018月9日在线发布时间：2019年9月5日印刷日期：2019年1月1日《临床分析医学杂志》；10（1）:31-4通讯作者：Aydin Keskinruzgar，Adıyaman大学牙科学院口腔颌面外科，02000，土耳其阿迪亚曼。GSM:+905416795521电子邮件：akeskinruzgar@gmail.comORCID ID:0000-0001-5735-6890摘要目的：本研究的目的是评估Adıyaman及其周围人群中三叉神经痛（TN）的患病率。材料和方法：研究人群包括2015年至2018年间入住阿山大学口腔颌面外科的154.969名患者。回顾性分析了41例TN患者的临床资料。记录患者的人口学数据和临床特征。测定TN的定位、年龄和性别分布以及TN的患病率。结果：41例TN患者中，女性27例，男性14例。患者的平均年龄为58.59±16.38岁。39名患者（95.1%）患有单侧TN，2名患者（4.9%）患有双侧TN。16名患者的三叉神经下颌支（V3）受累，5名患者的上颌支（V2）受累，3名患者的眼支（V1）受累。此外，1名患者出现V1+V2受累，5名患者出现V2+V3受累，11名患者出现了V1+V2+V3累及。总的来说，TN的患病率约为0.03%（26/100000）。讨论：TN是一种罕见疾病，很难估计其患病率，因此，关于TN患病率和患病率的文献有限。在其他研究中，患病率约为每100000人4.5-29.5人。本研究显示，Adıyaman及其周边地区TN的患病率为26/100000。这项研究可能是土耳其第一项调查TNT患病率的研究。
