Pain Practice, 2010
Occipital neuralgia is defined as a paroxysmal shooting or stabbing pain in the dermatomes of the nervus occipitalis major and/or nervus occipitalis minor. The pain originates in the suboccipital region and radiates over the vertex. A suggestive history and clinical examination with short-term pain relief after infiltration with local anesthetic ...

Abstract This chapter assesses occipital neuralgia (ON), which can occur after posterior head trauma or whiplash, presumably due to the propensity for damage to the relatively superficial greater occipital nerve (GON), which can easily be compressed against the skull. It has been demonstrated that ON occurs more commonly in patients with

Abstract Occipital neuralgia (ON) presents with lancinating (often mixed with more aching) occipital pain, which can be very disabling. There are a number of conditions which present, like ON, with posterior pain; but tenderness of the greater occipital nerve and response to greater occipital nerve anesthetic blockade are essentially ...

Occipital neuralgia: A neurosurgical perspective
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2020Occipital neuralgia typically arises in the setting of nerve compression by fibrosis, surrounding anatomic structures, or osseous pathology, such as bone spurs or hypertrophic atlanto-epistropic ligament. It generally presents as paroxysmal bouts of sharp pain in the sensory distribution of the first three occipital nerves.

Occipital Neuralgia and Its Management
Neurology India, 2021Background: Greater and lesser occipital neuralgias are primary neuralgias that are relatively uncommon, where the pain is felt in the distribution of these nerves. Objective: This review paper was intended to describe the features and

The findings in 23 cases of occipital neuralgia are presented. The clinical features of the condition are pain and sensory change in the distribution of the relevant nerve, localised nerve trunk tenderness and a clear response to local forms of therapy.

Greater Occipital Nerve Decompression for Occipital Neuralgia
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2018Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of greater occipital nerve decompression for the management of occipital neuralgia. Eleven patients of medical refractory occipital neuralgia were enrolled in the study. Local anaesthetic blocks were used for confirming diagnosis.

Occipital neuralgia: Anatomic considerations
Clinical Anatomy, 2014Occipital neuralgia is a debilitating disorder first described in 1821 as recurrent headaches localized in the occipital region. Other symptoms that have been associated with this condition include paroxysmal burning and aching pain in the distribution of the greater, lesser, or third occipital nerves.

There is a question as to whether or not occipital neuralgia should be included in the entrapment syndromes. Involvement of the nerve is a common cause of severe headache. Cox has divided occipital nerve pain into two categories, those having a relationship to the thoracic outlet syndrome, and symptoms arising from direct involvement of the nerve.
