Idiopathic causes of retroauricular pain are rarely seen in clinical practice. We present a 9-year-old child who suffered from atypical retroauricular pain resistant to conventional treatment. After excluding any other cause of retroauricular pain, a nerve block was performed with a 0.3 ml lidocaine 1% injection into the trigger point. We believe that this case report is important because in the literature there are no similar cases described in children.

We describe a case of a 57-year-old woman presenting initially with diplopia who later developed retro-orbital and retroauricular pain. Examination showed right abducens nerve palsy and subsequent right trigeminal nerve hyperesthesia. Neuroimaging revealed a well-defined mass confined to the right cavernous sinus, with high T2 signal intensity and homogeneous enhancement on postgadolinium T1-weighted images.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of repetitive transcranial acupuncture stimulation (rTAS) combined with electroacupuncture (EA) in treatment of acute facial palsy with retroauricular pain.
Methods: Sixty-eight patients of acute facial palsy with retroauricular pain were randomly divided into an observation group (34 cases, 3 cases dropped out) and a control group (34 cases, 3 cases dropped out). On the basis of conventional therapy, in the control group, Yangbai (GB 14), Cuanzhu (BL 2), Sibai (ST 2), Quanliao (SI 18), Dicang (ST 4), Yifeng (TE 17), Qianzheng (Extra point) and Taiyang (EX-HN 5) on the affected side, and bilateral Hegu (LI 4) were selected.

Background: Neck dissection performed via retroauricular approach emerged as an alternative to the conventional approach, aiming to maintain therapeutic efficacy with lower postoperative morbidity. Differences among these modalities in terms of functional aspects and quality of life (QOL) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the anatomical and functional aspects and the QOL in patients undergoing unilateral neck dissection via conventional or retroauricular (endoscopic or robotic) access.
