Neuralgia in the occipital region associated with ipsilateral trigeminal herpes zoster: Three case reports

DISCUSSION: The trigemino-cervical complex has the potential to cause neuralgia in the occipital region, as referred pain, caused by trigeminal herpes zoster. These cases suggest that, even if conjunctivitis or reddish spots appear to be trivial in the trigeminal nerve territory, trigeminal herpes zoster should be considered when neuralgia occurs in the ipsilateral occipital region.PMID:38525807 | DOI:10.1111/head.14698
