    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Postoperative complications can include severe neuralgic pain.
    • Ocular pain management presents unique challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed intense, episodic, neuralgic pain around the eye after surgery.
    • The pain was characterized as severe and paroxysmal.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment of the patient's ocular neuralgic pain was achieved using diphenylhydantoin.
    • Diphenylhydantoin demonstrated efficacy in managing severe postoperative eye pain.

    Implications:

    • Diphenylhydantoin may be a viable therapeutic option for specific types of postoperative ocular pain.
    • Further research into the neuropharmacological mechanisms of diphenylhydantoin for neuralgic pain is warranted.
