A 60-year-old man presented with pain on the left cheek and lateral nose. The patient had been diagnosed with facial herpes zoster in the left V2 area 6 months previously. Medical treatment was prescribed for 6 months but it had little effect. We blocked the left infraorbital nerve under ultrasound guidance, but pain relief was short term. Therefore, we performed pulsed radiofrequency treatment on the left infraorbital nerve under ultrasound guidance. Six months after the procedure, the reduction of pain was still maintained, and there was no need for further management.
一位 60 岁男性患者以左侧面颊和鼻翼外侧疼痛就诊。该患者 6 个月前曾被诊断为左侧 V2 区面部带状疱疹。已接受了 6 个月的药物治疗,但效果甚微。我们在超声引导下阻滞左侧眶下神经,但缓解疼痛的时间短暂。因此,我们在超声引导下对左侧眶下神经进行了脉冲射频治疗。治疗后 6 个月,疼痛缓解仍持续,无需进一步处理。
