DISCUSSION
This case indicates that SGB may relieve pain in some patients who are suspected to have symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia. SGB blocks sympathetic nervous activity to the head, neck, and upper extremity on the treated side. It is applied to reduce pain in patients with disor ders such as causalgia, reflex sympathetic dystrophies, peripheral vascular disease, [...]

INTRODUCTION
About 5 to 10% of trigeminal neuralgia has been considered to be symptomatic trigeminal neuralgias caused by brain tumors. Some of these patients complain of severe pain, which needs to be managed before surgical treatment. We present a case of symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia in which pain was relieved by trial stellate ganglion block (SGB).
