Abstract

A 60-year-old man presented to the ER with lancinating right-sided facial pain following a URI. He was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, yet returned several days later with right-sided facial paralysis. He was then also diagnosed with Bell's palsy and treated with corticosteroids and antiviral medication. He continued to experience facial pain and paralysis, and sought out integrative medical care including acupuncture, nutritional supplements, diet and lifestyle changes, and parenteral therapy with intravenous vitamins and minerals. Eight weeks later he reported near complete resolution of symptoms. Multi-modal interventions may shorten recovery time in some patients with trigeminal neuralgia or Bell's palsy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on concomitant trigeminal neuralgia and Bell's palsy. The CARE (CAse REport) guidelines were used in the writing of this case report.
