Temporal neuralgia

Bones are an important component of the human body. If there is a problem with the bones, it will cause great pain to people. Temporal neuralgia is a disease that causes pain and affects various functions of the human body. There are many diseases that can cause temporal neuralgia, and they are all relatively serious diseases, such as multiple myeloma, acute leukemia, malignant lymphoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, renal osteodystrophy, etc.

1. Multiple Myeloma

Bone imaging examinations of the painful area (including bone X-rays, CT or MRI examinations, and radionuclide bone scans, etc.) may indicate osteolytic destruction, pathological fractures, or extensive osteoporosis.

2. Acute leukemia

Patients with AML and ALL often have clinical symptoms of fever, anemia and bleeding. Peripheral blood examination shows a decrease in red blood cells and platelets, an increase, normal or decrease in white blood cell count, but with varying numbers of primitive cells. A bone marrow smear showing 30% or more primitive cells (non-erythroid) is the basis for a confirmed diagnosis of acute leukemia.

3. Malignant lymphoma

For bone pain caused by extranodal lymphoma originating in the bones or bone pain caused by malignant lymphoma infiltrating the bones, a biopsy of the affected bone is the only evidence for a definitive diagnosis.

4. Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Skeletal X-ray examination shows osteolytic bone destruction and flat bone lesions ranging from worm-eaten to huge defects. The vertebral bodies of the spine are mostly destroyed, showing flat vertebrae, but the intervertebral spaces do not narrow. The long bones are mostly cystic defects without dead bone formation.

5. Renal osteodystrophy

The patient had a history of long-term hemodialysis for uremia.

6. Primary hyperparathyroidism

Clinically, there are bone pain and recurrent urinary tract stones. Skeletal X-rays show subperiosteal cortical resorption, cystic changes, multiple fractures, or deformities.

7. Osteoporosis (OP)

There is a family history of OP, history of OP fractures, amenorrhea and menopause, long-term malnutrition, long-term bed rest, long-term use of steroid drugs and chronic diseases.

8. Non-bone-damaging low back pain

Common diseases include acute lumbar sprain, chronic cumulative lumbar muscle strain, lumbar myofibrosarcoma, polymyositis rheumatica, acute myelitis, lumbar neuritis, proliferative spondylitis (degenerative changes of the thoracic and lumbar spine), ankylosing spondylitis, sciatica and various visceral diseases, all of which can cause low back pain or lumbar sacral pain.
