Trigeminal neuropathy and partial nose destruction

Two cases of trigeminal neuropathy with tissue loss are described, one in a Spillane-Wells syndrome, the other in a Riley-Day syndrome. Although the etiology was different, nose-picking led in both cases to a typical "punchedout" lesion of the skin and cartilage of nose tip, columella and alae nasi. Reconstruction was performed only in the first case, after resolution of the neuropathy. Reconstruction should not be considered for cases with persistant anaesthesia. © 1986 Springer-Verlag.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
