Résumé

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe and often underestimated facial pain that affects quality of life. Pharmacological treatment is insufficient for pain control in 30% of cases and, although intervention techniques may be effective, there is a possibility of relapse and associated complications. The second division of the trigeminal nerve (V2) runs through the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG), which is anatomically accessible to blocking due to its superficial location in the nasal cavity. We report a clinical case of a patient with uncontrolled V2 TN that was put on ambulatory self-administered SPG block with nasal swabs soaked in 0.75% ropivacaine. In the follow-up visits, we confirmed that this adjuvant treatment provided a significant pain relief over 24hours with a decrease in the number of exacerbations.
