Greater occipital nerve neuralgia caused by pathological arterial contact: treatment by surgical decompression.

Christiane Cornely1, Marius Fischer, Giulio Ingianni, Stefan Isenmann.   

Abstract

Occipital nerve neuralgia is a rare cause of severe headache, and may be difficult to treat. We report the case of a patient with occipital nerve neuralgia caused by pathological contact of the nerve with the occipital artery. The pain was refractory to medical treatment. Surgical decompression yielded complete remission.
