摘要

We report a case of a 59-year-old female with severe TN who experienced satisfactory symptom relief from a single-shot trial of intrathecal ziconotide. Performed a 1 μg single-shot trial of Prialt. Report of satisfaction, no side effects, and complete face and back relief briefly but most notably relief from the TN. Ziconotide should be considered for treatment of TN, although further investigation is recommended.
