Numerous studies have shown the efficacy of the decompression of the greater occipital nerve to ameliorate migraine symptoms. Whereas a number of potential compression sites along the course of the greater occipital nerve have been reported, we describe the anatomical details of the only consistent ...
Identify the lesser trochanter, and use the Bovie to mark the level of the neck cut, which is usually approximately 10 to 15 mm above the lesser trochanter. The exact level of the neck cut should be determined on preoperative templating. XXI. Make the femoral neck cut using a reciprocating...
Nineteen fresh cadaver heads were dissected (38 greater occipital nerves) to evaluate the course of the greater occipital nerve. Measurements were taken relative to the occipital protuberance and the midline. Mean and standard deviation were computed....
1Figure showing the direction of needle entry and the sonoanatomy of greater auricular and lesser occipital nerve Therefore, a combined greater auricular nerve block and lesser occipital nerve block may provide effective analgesia in paediatric patients undergoing cochlear implant surgery. Postoperative ...
Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a unique, yet simple technique for blocking the greater occipital nerve in children through the evaluation of the anatomy of this nerve and the accompanying occipital artery in the occipital region. Methods: The greater occipital nerve and occipital ...

The aim of this research was to study the anatomy of greater occipital nerve (GON) and its relation to occipital artery. Also the use of these anatomical measures in local injection of the greater occipital nerve for treatment of migraine. The study was carried out at the Faculty of Medicine...
In three cases, the GON split into two branches before piercing the TMA and reunited after having passed the TMA, and it pierced the obliquus capitis inferior muscle in another three cases. The GON and the lesser occipital nerve reunited at the level of the occiput in 80% of the specimens...

The lesser occipital nerve, the GON, the greater auricular nerve, and the occipital artery (OA) were dissected. All measurements were made with a 0.1 mm sensitive calipometer. The GON's diameter at the point where the GON pierces the SSC was found to be 2.5 ± 0.3 mm. The distance ...
