| Abstract |
Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder characterized by unilateral electric shock-like pain, distributed in one or more trigeminal nerve branches and triggered by usually innocuous stimuli. Among the few case reports and literature reviews on familial trigeminal neuralgia (FTN), the results of several suggest the involvement of genes associated with biochemical alterations or atherosclerotic vascular malformations. We present four cases of FTN within two families (family A: two brothers; family B: two sisters). All patients were submitted to surgical treatment by the same surgeon. Cases 1 and 2 (family A) exhibited FTN with an uncommon autosomal recessive pattern and clinical features consistent with previous literature reviews and case reports. However, in cases 3 and 4 (family B), we found FTN with a dominant autosomal pattern and an unusual physiopathology characterized by arachnoid adhesions. We conclude, in this case report, that there are several inheritance patterns as well as physiopathology that may be involved in FTN, and that both patterns described in our reported cases were successfully managed with surgery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 10 April 2019.
All research outputs
#12,882,417
of 23,047,237 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#4,809
of 11,952 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#154,633
of 327,928 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#114
of 291 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,047,237 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,952 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% 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 327,928 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 291 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
