摘要
Auriculotemporal neuropathy is a rare aetiology of orofacial pain. A 66-year old female patient presented with severe, throbbing pain around the right ear after herpes zoster. The pain was consistent with post-herpetic neuropathy and was not relieved by oral medications. To alleviate neuropathic pain, ultrasound-guided auriculotemporal nerve block was done. The pain was relieved completely and the patient remained symptom-free until the last follow up at eight months after treatment. With understanding of the anatomy and related symptoms of auriculotemporal nerve, auriculotemporal neuropathy can be controlled by ultrasound-guided auriculotemporal nerve block.
