Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Neurogenic dysaesthetic neck pain with syncope after neck tumor surgery is rare. Spinal cord stimulation effectively treated pain and syncope in three of four patients, offering a potential therapeutic option.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pain Management
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Neurogenic dysaesthetic pain in the neck post-neck tumor surgery is uncommon.
  • The concurrent occurrence of this pain with syncope is exceptionally rare.
  • Previous reports have linked neck surgery to glossopharyngeal neuralgia, but not specifically to neurogenic dysaesthetic pain with syncope.

Observation:

  • Four patients who underwent neck tumor excision developed neurogenic dysaesthetic neck pain and syncope.
  • This presentation is exceptionally rare, particularly the co-occurrence of pain and syncope.

Findings:

  • Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) provided successful pain and syncope relief in three out of four patients.
  • One patient succumbed to complications related to their underlying tumor.

Implications:

  • Spinal cord stimulation should be considered as a viable treatment for neurogenic dysaesthetic neck pain with syncope.
  • Further research into this rare complication and its management is warranted.
