Trigeminal trophic lesion

Trigeminal trophic lesions (also known as "Trigeminal trophic syndrome")[1] are a cutaneous condition caused by the interruption of peripheral or central sensory pathways of the trigeminal nerve that result in a slowly enlarging, uninflammed ulcer on the cheek beside the ala nasi.[2]:65

Sixty cases were reported from 1982 to 2002.[3]
