Trigeminal trophic lesion

Trigeminal trophic lesions (also known as "Trigeminal trophic syndrome")^[1] are a cutaneous condition caused by the interruption of peripheral or central sensory pathways of the trigeminal nerve that result in a slowly enlarging, uninflammed ulcer on the cheek beside the ala nasi.^[2]^:65

Sixty cases were reported from 1982 to 2002.^[3]
