Abstract
The “story” of the trigeminal nerve complex is a rich and multifaceted one. It involves details of the peripheral distribution and functionality of its three divisions, how their fibers originate and/or are connected to and conveyed within central pathways of the brain, and the common lesions and disorders associated with this nerve. It is also a story that has intersected over the years with advances in surgical, clinical, and imaging technologies, unlocking mysteries of the disorders of this nerve, leading to advances in treatments and outcomes. This chapter reviews the relevant literature on all these fronts to provide a contemporary understanding of the clinical anatomy of this important, complex cranial nerve.
