CT-Guided C2 Dorsal Root Ganglion Radiofrequency Ablation for the Treatment of Cervicogenic Headache: Case Series and Clinical Outcomes.
Academic Article
Overview
abstract
Cervicogenic headache is a secondary headache syndrome attributable to upper cervical spine pathology. Osteoarthritis of the lateral atlantoaxial joint with resultant C2 dorsal root ganglion irritation is an important and potentially treatable cause of cervicogenic headache. In this case series, we present 11 patients with cervicogenic headache who underwent C2 dorsal root ganglion thermal radiofrequency ablation. Radiologists should be familiar with this efficacious procedure and technical considerations to avoid complications.
