Trigeminal sensory neuropathy and rheumatoid arthritis: case study of a rare association
Burnley General Hospital, Casterton Avenue, Burnley, Lancashire BB10 2PQ, UK
SIR, Isolated trigeminal sensory neuropathy (TSN) is a distinct entity of heterogeneous aetiology. A chronic form of TSN has been associated with connective tissue disorders (CTD) [17], but TSN has rarely been reported to develop as an isolated neurological deficit in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [2, 4]. We present one case of TSN in a patient with RA.
