Ernest Syndrome

A facial pain syndrome typified by spontaneous pain on the side of the face and                          sometimes the neck.  The cause is a tendinitis of the stylomandibular ligament which attaches to the                          angle (corner) of the jaw.  Ernest Syndrome is treated with injections of steroid and local anesthesia,                          as are many types of tendinitis.  It is an occasional result of whiplash injuries.
