Estratto
Le nevralgie craniche includono un insieme di condizioni dolorose parossistiche del capo di riscontro poco frequente nella pratica clinica. Differenziabili in funzione del nervo interessato e dunque in base allo specifico territorio cutaneo sede del dolore, le nevralgie craniche condividono alcuni peculiari aspetti clinici tra i quali: l’unilateralità della sintomatologia; la presentazione in accessi dolorosi brevi e ripetuti; la qualità superficiale e “a scossa elettrica” della sensazione dolorosa e la presenza di specifiche modalità di scatenamento. Un altro elemento comune a tutte queste forme e che deve essere sempre tenuto presente dal clinico è la presenza di un rischio di secondarietà relativamente alto che richiede sempre un attento work-up diagnostico-differenziale.
