Trigeminal Neuralgia Triggered by Auditory Stimuli in Multiple Sclerosis Arch Neurol 56:731-733, Hartmann,M.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A 27 year-old man who presented with clinical signs of a brainstem lesion developed right-sided trigeminal neuralgia triggered by auditory stimuli to the right ear. Magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiological studies demonstrated a demyelinating lesion in the pons affecting the right lateral lemniscus and the right trigeminal pathway. This phenomenon completely subsided within4 days. After a relapse, the diagnosis of clinically definite multiple sclerosis was made. Lateral sprea d of impulse activity within the demyelinating pontine lesion is the likely explanation for the unusual phenomenon of trigeminal neuralgia triggered by auditory stimuli.
