Sounds like: a NEURITIS of the TRIGEMINAL Nerve... This will not show up in a brain MRI Mention to the physician who ordered the testing you have described! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Trigeminal neuralgia: You may have trigeminal neuralgia. The Cat scan should have a clear view of the meckel's cave area in the brain. This is the area where the nerves that innervate that area run through. You should see an ent doctor to follow this. Good luck and feel better.
