Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Occipital Neuralgia
Correspondence To the Editor: Occipital neuralgia (ON) is the third most common headache syndrome following migraine and tension‑type headache. In recent years, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been used to relieve severe pain caused by some types of neuralgia when conservative medical treatments and block procedures were not effective. PNS is a kind of neuromodulation using spinal cord s...
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 کاملOccipital nerve stimulation for intractable occipital neuralgia: an open surgical technique.
Occipital neuralgia (ON) is defined as a paroxysmal jabbing pain in the cutaneous distribution of the greater or lesser occipital or third occipital nerve.10 The pain is frequently described as sharp, shooting, stabbing or electrical, preferentially unilateral and remitting, radiating to the occipital and frontal areas, with associated symptoms suggesting a pain origin from the neck.2,3 ON tend...
متن کاملUnilateral occipital nerve stimulation for bilateral occipital neuralgia: a case report and literature review
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to present a case of successful relief of bilateral occipital neuralgia (ON) using unilateral occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) and to discuss the possible underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS We present the case of a 59-year-old female patient with severe bilateral ON treated with unilateral ONS. We systematically reviewed previous studies of ONS f...
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...
