Fundo:

A neurotomia por radiofrequência (RFN) pode ser um tratamento eficaz para pacientes com dor cervical crônica e cefaleias cervicogênicas resistentes ao tratamento conservador. No entanto, o grau e a duração do alívio da dor após a RFN dependem do grau de coagulação do nervo alvo.

Relato de caso:

Este é o caso de um paciente de 37 anos com dor cervical debilitante e dores de cabeça após um acidente automobilístico. O bloqueio anestésico local bem-sucedido do terceiro nervo occipital (TON) confirmou a dor de origem na articulação facetária C2-C3. Um tratamento inicial de RFN do TON, usando eletrodos 18G padrão no modo bipolar, resultou em melhora completa dos sintomas por 8 meses. A repetição do RFN, usando a mesma configuração de eletrodos, não foi bem-sucedida no alívio da dor severa no pescoço e das dores de cabeça, e não produziu nenhuma perda sensorial demonstrável na distribuição do TON. O RFN foi então realizado com o eletrodo expansível multitinado de RF eletrocirúrgico NIMBUS®, que proporciona uma zona de coagulação maior em volume do que os eletrodos de RFN padrão, mesmo quando usado em configuração bipolar.

Conclusão:

The NIMBUS procedure resulted in successful coagulation of the TON with sensory loss in the TON distribution and reinstatement of palliative relief.
