Sudden blindness after thermocoagulation of the trigeminal ganglion.

V Feiler1, V Godel, M Lazar.   

Abstract

Sudden blindness during percutaneous thermocoagulation of the gasserian ganglion occurred in a 72-year-old woman with trigeminal neuralgia. Considered a safe procedure, we highlight the possibility of this serious complication which was probably due to direct damage of the optic nerve.
