Brain Surgery Eases 5-Year Facial Pain for Udupi Patient

After five years of relentless facial pain, a local resident from Udupi district finally found relief when he underwent brain surgery at the University Hospital in Manipal.

The patient, diagnosed with severe trigeminal neuralgia, had been suffering from constant throbbing pain and weakness in the facial muscles. Doctors performed a focused radiosurgery that targeted the nerve root responsible for the pain, cutting off the aberrant signals while preserving rest of the facial function.

The successful procedure not only eased the patient’s suffering but also restored the ability to eat, talk and smile normally. It underscores the importance of timely referral and advanced neurosurgical care and offers hope to others experiencing similar debilitating pain. Source: Google News – Manipal.
