- Authors
Franklin, Jason; Moore, Paige; Angel, Douglas
- Abstract
The article describes the cases of an 83-year-old female and a 23-year old female who both presented with non-healing ulcerations in the right supraclavicular fossa. Both were diagnosed with trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS), a rare but well-recognized complication following damage to the trigeminal nerve. The article also reminds head and neck surgeons to be aware of the newly described entity of cervical neuropathic ulceration.
