Pain after otolaryngological and cervicofacial surgery varies greatly because of the wide variety of procedures. Preventing this pain stems from the administration of paracetamol, nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs, nefopam, and systematic recourse to morphine when remifentanil is used. Postoperatively, the most painful surgical procedures are an indication for multimodal anesthesia and patient-controlled morphinic analgesic after titration in the postoperative postanesthesia care unit. Applying antalgic protocols, also including locoregional anesthesia, depending on the type of procedure and the patient, can improve the quality of care.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces the trigeminal cervical complex (TCC) as a framework for understanding the trigeminal nerve's role in otolaryngologic symptoms and myofascial pain syndromes in the head and neck.
- A comprehensive narrative review analyzed data from 66 studies, focusing on afferent connections from cranial nerves to the TCC and their associated pathways.
- The authors suggest that sensitization of the TCC, influenced by neurotransmitter transmission, helps explain various clinical symptoms like otalgia, tinnitus, and bruxism, which often lack clear medical explanations.

Introduction: Cat scratch disease is an infectious disease transmitted by young cats, in which the principal causative factor is Bartonella henselae. The typical course of cat scratch disease is usually benign and self-limited and requires only supportive therapy. However, cases lasting up to 2 years have been reported, and more serious complications may occur.

Objective: The bacteria Bartonella henselae has been known as the principal causative agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD) since 1992. It is an important cause of infectious lymphadenopathies in the head and neck. Nevertheless, CSD often remains unrecognized in cases of cervicofacial lymph node enlargement.
