Updated: Sep 11, 2008
Follow-up
Prognosis
Symptomatic resolution in Raeder paratrigeminal syndrome usually occurs within an interval of 2-3 months. If pain persists or if atypical features are noted, investigate and manage secondary causes.
Miscellaneous
Medicolegal Pitfalls
If the diagnosis is in question, atypical features are present, or neurologic deficits are noted on the neurologic examination, a thorough evaluation for other etiologies (eg, aneurysm, mass) is warranted.
