RESUMEN
Introducción:
Entre las cefaleas secundarias se encuentra la atribuida a flebotrombosis cerebral producida por trombosis séptica del seno cavernoso. El ganglio esfenopalatino interviene en la génesis y mantenimiento de cefaleas unilaterales; pues envía conexiones a la cavidad nasofaríngea y meninges, así desempeña una función importante en la modulación neuronal; el bloqueo de dicho ganglio es un método fácil, seguro, económico y efectivo de tratamiento del dolor irruptivo de algunos tipos de cefalea.Objetivo:
Presentar los resultados del bloqueo GEFP en el tratamiento de la cefalea grave refractaria secundaria a trombosis séptica del seno cavernoso. Presentación de caso Paciente de 71 años de edad, al que se realizó de forma exitosa bloqueo transnasal del ganglio esfenopalatino, para tratamiento de cefalea grave refractaria secundaria a trombosis séptica del seno cavernoso, consiguiéndose analgesia efectiva con disminución progresiva de la cefalea y control total de la misma a las 72 h de tratamiento.Conclusiones:
El bloqueo podría constituir una opción en la terapéutica de este tipo de cefalea(AU)ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Among secondary headaches, one is attributed to cerebral phlebothrombosis produced by septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus. The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is involved in the genesis and maintenance of unilateral headaches, since it sends connections to the nasopharyngeal cavity and meninges, playing thus an important role in neuronal modulation; therefore; the blockade of this ganglion is an easy, safe, economic and effective method for treating breakthrough pain in some types of headache.Objective:
To present the results of SPG blockade in the treatment of refractory severe headache produced by septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus. Case presentation A 71-year-old male patient is presented, who was successfully performed a transnasal SPG blockade, as a treatment for refractory severe headache caused by septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus. Effective analgesia is achieved, together with progressive decrease of headache until it was totally controlled at 72 hours.Conclusions:
Blockade was an option in the therapy of this type of headache(AU)Palavras-chave
