Ocular involvement in sphenopalatin ganglion pulsed radiofrequency

Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of the sphenopalatine ganglion is an important interventional treatment in refractory cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or atypical facial pain, given the easy access to its location. Despite the fact that complications from this technique are rare and it is a...

Description
Summary:Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of the sphenopalatine ganglion is an important interventional treatment in refractory cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or atypical facial pain, given the easy access to its location. Despite the fact that complications from this technique are rare and it is a fairly safe procedure, ophthalmologists should know about it due to the anatomical relations of this ganglion. El tratamiento con radiofrecuencia pulsada (RFP) del ganglio esfenopalatino (GEFP) es una opción importante a tener en cuenta respecto al tratamiento intervencionista en casos refractarios de neuralgia del trigémino (NT) o dolores faciales atípicos, dado el fácil acceso a su localización. A pesar de que las complicaciones de esta técnica son raras y es un procedimiento bastante seguro, a nivel oftalmológico cabe reseñar su importancia por la relaciones anatómicas de este ganglio.
