Article Synopsis
- The case study examines a 21-year-old man with a traumatic spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 caused by unilateral facet fractures, resulting from a rollover car accident.
- After experiencing low back pain and leg pain, he underwent multiple imaging studies that revealed serious spine injuries, including disc protrusion and facet fractures.
- Following a neurosurgical referral and eventually a lumbar fusion surgery, the patient's symptoms significantly improved, highlighting the importance of monitoring and timely intervention in such injuries.
Objectives: Occipital neuralgia is a headache that may result from greater occipital nerve entrapment. Entrapped peripheral nerves typically have an increase in cross-sectional area. The purpose of this study was to measure the cross-sectional area and circumference of symptomatic and asymptomatic greater occipital nerves in patients with unilateral occipital neuralgia and to correlate the greater occipital nerve cross-sectional area with headache severity, sex, and body mass index.

Methods: Data from 30 asymptomatic subjects between the ages of 22 and 35 were collected. CSA and circumference of the GON and CSA of OCI were measured using sonography.
