Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is an unusual complication after peripheral or central damage to the trigeminal nerve, characterized by anesthesia, paresthesias, and ala nasi ulceration. We describe a patient with classic TTS after trigeminal rhizotomy who underwent several extensive evaluations for nasal ulceration and received prolonged immunosuppressive therapy for a presumed autoimmune disorder before the correct diagnosis was made. An understanding of the predisposing factors and clinical presentation of TTS is important to ensure a timely diagnosis of this difficult-to-treat illness. Differentiation of TTS from malignancy, infection, or vasculitis is possible on the basis of clinical history, tissue biopsy, and serologic evaluation.
