Trigeminal Nerve Injuries
Trigeminal nerve injuries refer to damages or traumas affecting the trigeminal nerve, which is a cranial nerve responsible for sensations in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing. These injuries can result from various causes, including surgical complications, trauma, tumors, or certain medical conditions, and may lead to symptoms such as facial pain, numbness, or weakness.
Trigeminusneuralgi
Trigeminusneuralgi är en neurologisk sjukdom som orsakar plötsliga, intensiva smärtor i ansiktet, ofta i anslutning till ansiktsmusklernas rörelser eller vid känslighandtering av ansiktet. Smärtorna kan vara mycket starka och upplevas som stötande, stickande eller brännande. Trigeminusneuralgi beror vanligtvis på en kompression eller skada på trigeminusnerven, ofta i samband med ett blodkärl. Behandlingen kan innefatta medicinska behandlingar som antiepileptika och/eller kirurgiska ingrepp för att lindra trycket på nerven.

Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peripheral nerve injuries refer to damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, which are part of the peripheral nervous system. These injuries can occur due to various reasons such as trauma, compression, or stretching, and can result in a range of symptoms including numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the affected area. The severity of the injury can vary from mild damage with partial loss of function to complete nerve severance leading to permanent disability. Treatment options may include medication, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the nature and extent of the injury.

Hypoglossal Nerve Injuries
The hypoglossal nerve, also known as the twelfth cranial nerve (CN XII), is primarily responsible for controlling tongue movements. Hypoglossal nerve injuries can result in various symptoms, depending on the severity and location of the damage. Here's a concise medical definition:

Perifera nerver
Perifere nerver är nervtrådar som utgår från centrala nervsystemet (hjärnan och ryggmärgen) och försörjer kroppens olika organ och muskler med nervimpulser. De perifera nerverna bildar ett komplext nätverk av sensorer och motoriska signaler som gör att vi kan uppfatta värme, kyla, smärta och tryck, samt kontrollera rörelse och koordination i kroppen.
Ophthalmic Nerve
The ophthalmic nerve, also known as the first cranial nerve or CN I, is a sensory nerve that transmits visual and non-visual information from the eye and parts of the face to the brain. It carries afferent fibers for the senses of sight, smell, and touch. The ophthalmic nerve has three major branches: the nasociliary nerve, the frontal nerve, and the lacrimal nerve. These nerves provide sensory innervation to the forehead, eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, and mucous membranes of the nose. Any damage to the ophthalmic nerve can result in vision loss or other sensory impairments in these areas.
