Antecedentes:

La neurotomía por radiofrecuencia (RFN) puede ser un tratamiento eficaz para pacientes con dolor de cuello crónico y cefaleas cervicogénicas resistentes a los cuidados conservadores. Sin embargo, el grado y la duración del alivio del dolor tras la RFN dependen de la exhaustividad de la coagulación del nervio diana.

Informe de un caso:

Éste es el caso de un paciente de 37 años con dolor cervical debilitante y cefaleas tras un accidente de tráfico. Un bloqueo anestésico local satisfactorio del tercer nervio occipital (TON) confirmó que el dolor tenía su origen en la articulación facetaria C2-C3. Un tratamiento inicial de RFN del TON, utilizando electrodos estándar 18G en modo bipolar, produjo una mejoría completa de los síntomas durante 8 meses. La repetición de la RFN, utilizando la misma configuración de electrodos, no consiguió aliviar el intenso dolor de cuello y las cefaleas, y no produjo ninguna pérdida sensorial demostrable en la distribución del TON. A continuación se realizó la RFN utilizando el electrodo expandible multidireccional de RF electroquirúrgico NIMBUS®, que proporciona una zona de coagulación de mayor volumen que los electrodos de RFN estándar, incluso cuando se utiliza en configuración bipolar.

Conclusión:

El procedimiento NIMBUS dio lugar a una coagulación satisfactoria del TON con pérdida sensorial en la distribución del TON y restablecimiento del alivio paliativo.
