Micro-surgical decompression for greater occipital neuralgia.
AIM To evaluate the clinical effect of micro-surgical decompression of greater occipital nerve for greater occipital neuralgia (GON). MATERIAL AND METHODS 76 patients underwent surgical decompression of the great occipital nerve. A nerve block was tested before operation. The headache rapidly resolved after infiltration of 1% Lidocaine near the tender area of the nerve trunk. RESULTS 89 pro...
متن کاملCooled Radiofrequency Ablation for Bilateral Greater Occipital Neuralgia
This report describes a case of bilateral greater occipital neuralgia treated with cooled radiofrequency ablation. The case is considered in relation to a review of greater occipital neuralgia, continuous thermal and pulsed radiofrequency ablation, and current medical literature on cooled radiofrequency ablation. In this case, a 35-year-old female with a 2.5-year history of chronic suboccipital...
متن کاملIdentification of greater occipital nerve landmarks for the treatment of occipital neuralgia.
Important structures involved in the pathogenesis of occipital headache include the aponeurotic attachments of the trapezius and semispinalis capitis muscles to the occipital bone. The greater occipital nerve (GON) can become entrapped as it passes through these aponeuroses, causing symptoms of occipital neuralgia. The aim of this study was to identify topographic landmarks for accurate identif...
متن کاملA case of greater occipital nerve schwannoma causing neuralgia.
Schwannomas are common tumors of the head and neck region, but they rarely develop in the suboccipital region. A 34-year-old woman presented with a left suboccipital mass causing local pain and neck stiffness. Following physical examination, fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed, which revealed benign cytology. In the light of preoperative radiologic examination and intraoperative observa...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve stimulation for occipital neuralgia: surgical leads.
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been used for the treatment of various neuropathic pain disorders, including occipital neuralgia, for the patients who failed less-invasive therapeutic approaches. Several different mechanisms of pain relief were proposed when PNS is used to treat occipital neuralgia and clinical studies using various types of electrical leads suggested largely positive cl...
