Abstract

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a DNA virus that causes both primary and recurrent viral infections. Herpes zoster (HZ), also known as shingles, is a unique condition that is induced by VZV reactivation. Neuropathic pain, malaise, and sleep disruption are prodromal symptoms in such cases. Postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia is neuropathic pain caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection of the trigeminal ganglion or branches, which remains or reappears after herpes crusting. In this report, we present a case of trigeminal neuralgia of the V2 branch after herpes, exhibiting typical findings of unusual involvement of the trigeminal nerve. Notably, the patient was treated using electrodes placed through the foramen ovale.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 March 2023.
All research outputs
#17,301,727
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neurological Surgery Part A: Central European Neurosugery
#65
of 192 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#194,704
of 350,840 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neurological Surgery Part A: Central European Neurosugery
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 192 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 350,840 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
