BACKGROUND Supraorbital rim syndrome (SORS) is a novel term attributed to a composite of anatomically defined peripheral nerve entrapment sites of the supraorbital rim region. The SORS term establishes a more consistent nomenclature to describe the constellation of frontal peripheral nerve entrapment sites causing frontal headache pain. In this article, we describe the anatomical features of SO...

Laser radiant-heat pulses selectively excite the free nerve endings in the superficial layers of the skin and activate mechano-thermal nociceptive afferents; when directed to the perioral or supraorbital skin, high-intensity laser pulses evoke a blink-like response in the orbicularis oculi muscle (the laser blink reflex, LBR). We investigated the functional properties (startle or nociceptive or...

We describe a patient with intractable chronic cluster headache that responded well to supraorbital nerve electric stimulation.

In this paper, we report a case of bilobed schwannoma, presented in the roof of orbit arising from supraorbital nerve. A 62-year male presented with a nontender mass in superior part of orbit and eccentric proptosis. Visual acuity and rest of ocular examination were normal. CT scan and MRI orbit revealed an extraconal homogenous bilobed mass, of size 3.5 to 2.5 cms in roof of orbit. Fine needle...

Policy Aetna considers parenteral administration of dihydroergotamine (DHE) medically necessary for the treatment of intractable migraine or cluster headache. Prolonged multi-day administration of DHE is considered medically necessary when both of the following conditions are met: 1. Member has intractable cluster headache or severe migraine headache (i.e., status migrainosus, chronic daily hea...

Purpose To report a case of regained corneal sensation and function in a patient with neurotrophic keratopathy due to direct damage to the long ciliary nerves by performing a corneal neurotization procedure using ipsilateral supraorbital nerve. Surgical technique is described in detail as well as a review of the literature on corneal neurotization. Observations A patient with devastating corn...

Abstract Cluster headache (CH) is a primary characterized by severe pain that strictly unilateral, with orbital, supraorbital, or temporal location, accompanied ipsilateral autonomic manifestations. It has considerable socioeconomic impact and impairs patients' quality of life. The present study aimed to report the case patient presenting CH who underwent occipital nerve stimulation verify impr...

OBJECTIVE The transpalpebral resection of the corrugator and depressor supercilii muscles is a new treatment option for migraine headaches. Hyperactive contractility of these muscles can provoke the peripheral compression of the supratrochlear nerve and induce a neurogenic inflammation triggering the symptoms of migraine. In order to gather detailed knowledge of the respective anatomy in the ey...
