our three year old son is the youngest currently diagnosed trigeminal neuralgia patient in the world. I'm sure there are other kids out there his age but left undiagnosed because of the medical communities lack of knowledge and awareness that this disease does happen with children. He has weak myelin making him suseptable to this beast. Brendon has TN1 on the right side. We hope to have MVD this summer at UCI. Right now he is doing well on trileptal but we know it's only a matter of time before it fails to work. Praying our little boy responds to surgery and is pain free for the rest of his life!
