Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is an exceedingly rare complication following injury to the trigeminal ganglion, characterized by painless ulcerations, which has only rarely been reported with intraoral features. We present a patient with multiple intraoral ulcerations of the right buccal and alveolar mucosa that had previously been treated with nerve ablation therapy for trigeminal neuralgia. Positive immunohistochemistry staining of a biopsy specimen for cytomegalovirus suggested a viral etiology; however, lesions persisted despite antiviral therapy, and immunohistochemistry was negative on follow-up biopsy. Diagnosis of TTS is one of exclusion as it can mimic many other conditions, and should be considered in patients with unilateral painless ulcerations with a history of trigeminal nerve damage.
