Trigeminal Trophic Syndrome (TTS) is a disorder affecting the trigeminal ganglia and presents with trigeminal dermatome anesthesia and paresthesia [1]. The most common cause is iatrogenic; however, there is evidence of association with cerebrovascular accidents [2,3]. The neuropathic facial pain mimics trigeminal neuralgia, wherein spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been effective [4]. Considering high-level cervical stimulation has been used for refractory trigeminal neuralgia, it was hypothesized that a similar approach would help manage TTS [5].
