Migraine after stellate ganglion block: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2023 Oct 31;11(11):e8119. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8119. eCollection 2023 Nov.

Abstract

Stellate ganglion block-induced ipsilateral migraines are rare. We present a typical case detailing its developmental process. Abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system control and vascular and neural mechanisms may play crucial roles in the manifestation of these migraines. Postprocedural migraines necessitate anesthesiologists' awareness during stellate ganglion blocks.

Keywords: anesthesia; case report; migraine headache; stellate ganglion block.
