A patient who had suffered from chronic facial pain for five years finally found relief after a targeted brain surgery conducted at the Manipal Kharadi Medical Centre.
According to the neurologist who performed the procedure, the pain was traced to a rare cluster of vascular malformations affecting the trigeminal nerve. The surgical team used a minimally invasive approach to decompress the nerve, a technique that has been in use for similar cases across Karnataka.
Post‑operative follow‑up shows the patient is now pain‑free and has returned to normal activities. The successful outcome highlights the importance of early referral to specialized centres and offers hope to others in Udupi region facing similar neurological disorders. Source: Google News – Manipal.
