A member asked:
Can trigeminal neuropathy be caused by a virus? and if so will it resolve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non-viral: I am not aware of any viral infection causing trigeminal neuralgia. If you have severe pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve then you should see your Family Doctor or a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.
