中間神経痛とは,外耳道痛を主症状とし,痛みは頭頂後頭領域に放散し,時に流涙・唾液過多・味覚異常を伴う脳神経ニューロパチーであり,三叉神経痛,舌咽神経痛との鑑別に苦慮するまれな疾患である。今回我々は,右外耳道に発作性電撃痛のほかに味覚障害を強く訴え,3次元magnetic resonance cisternogram/magnetic resonance angiogram fusion image(3D-MRC/MRA)にて,顔面神経―前庭聴神経に対する血管による高度な圧迫を確認,中間神経痛と診断し,微小血管減圧術を行い,外耳道痛,味覚障害の著明な改善を認めた1例を経験したので,中間神経痛における味覚障害の発現機序,診断・治療について検討を加え報告する。
Intermediate nerve neuralgia is a cranial neuropathy characterized by paroxysmal pain in the external auditory canal accompanied by lacrimation, hypersalivation, and dysgeusia. In diagnosis of intermediate nerve neuralgia, the efficacy of three-dimensional magnetic resonance cisternography/magnetic resonance angiography(3D MRC/MRA)fusion imaging was discussed. A 68-year-old woman presented to hospital with complaints of paroxysmal electric shock pain in right external auditory canal, tinnitus, and dysgeusia. 3D-MRC/MRA indicated vascular compression for right facial and vestibulocochlear nerves and we suspected intermediate nerve neuralgia. Microvascular decompression(MVD)was performed and improvment in symptoms was observed immediately. 3D MRC/MRA fusion image can be used for decision making of surgery for intermediate nerve neuralgia.
