Abstract:Objective To evaluate the application value of CT-guided selective foramen rotundum puncture radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of maxillary neuralgia. Methods CT-guided puncture of 18 patients with maxillary neuralgia was conducted and then the verification of the puncture positions was also conducted. Based on the correct puncture positions, radiofrequency thermocoagulation of maxillary nerve within the target region was conducted. Results After radiofrequency thermocoagulation, the pain condition of 12 patients was completely mitigated and that of 4 patients was partial mitigated while that of 2 patients was unchanged, which showed that the total effective rate of radiofrequency thermocoagulation was 88.8%. The results of 6 months follow-up showed that the relapse of maxillary neuralgia occurred in 4 patients. Conclusion CT-guided selective foramen rotundum puncture radiofrequency thermocoagulation with accurate positioning, favourable curative effect and simple operation methods is suitable for the treatment of maxillary neuralgia.
