Neuralgia In Webster's Dictionary

\Neu*ral"gi*a\, n. [NL., from gr. ? nerve + ? pain. See {nerve}.] (Med.) A disease, the chief symptom of which is a very acute pain, exacerbating or intermitting, which follows the course of a nervous branch, extends to its ramifications, and seems therefore to be seated in the nerve. It seems to be independent of any structural lesion. --Dunglison.
