Headaches and facial pain can be extremely difficult to manage for the patient and the clinician.
In the medical literature, it has been suggested that the autonomic reflex plays an important role in the pathophysiology of facial neuralgia.
The sphenopalatine ganglion is the largest parasympathetic ganglion outside the cranium.
It is an easy accessible target for pain management.
The application of radiofrequency nerve ablation was described in the medical literature.
In this case report, we describe a 54-year-old female.
She was diagnosed with a cavernous sinus meningioma.
She underwent surgical resection and gamma knife radiosurgery.
She was suffering from an intractable hemifacial pain for many years.
Her pain started shortly after surgery and continued throughout many years.
Sphenopalatine ganglion block in multiple occasions was able to provide temporary relief.
The patient’s intractable hemicranial headaches and hemifacial pain responded to the sphenopalatine ganglion radiofrequency nerve ablation.
The pain response remained unchanged for 12 months after procedure.
This case report increased our current knowledge about the sphenopalatine ganglion role in the headache and facial intractable pain management.
The failure of available antalgic medications to adequately control pain in similar patients underscores the need to develop an algorithm for therapies.
