Anatomy of the Auriculotemporal Nerve: Variations in Its Relationship to the Superficial Temporal Artery and Implications for the Treatment of Migraine Headaches

Abstract: There are variations in the relationship between the auriculotemporal nerve and the superficial temporal artery. These variations may serve as an anatomical explanation for this point as a source of migraine headaches in some patients. A topographical map of the relationship between these two structures may serve as a guide for surgeons interested in decompressing the nerve from the artery when indicated.

“…In the new ICHD-III classification, however, this category was not included 10 . Differential NAT diagnosis should be obtained to rule out other disorders, including temporomandibular disorders, toothache, continuous migraine, earache, trigeminal neuralgia, temporal arteritis, myofascial pain and atypical facial pain [2][3][4][5][6][7] . Primary diagnosis of our patient was obtained by means of pain characteristics, such as location, quality, intensity, frequency and duration.…”

“…Its nervous roots form a short trunk, which supplies several branches and innervates temporomandibular joint (TMJ), temporal region, pinna and external acoustic meatus. It conducts sympathetic fibers to the scalp and parasympathetic fibers to the parotid gland 4 . Anatomic relationship between n.AT and masticatory muscles, TMJ and surrounding vessels in the infra temporal fossa region, creates favorable conditions for compressive syndromes 5,6 .…”

“…Бло-каду вушно-скроневого нерва здійснювали по задньому краю шийки суглобового відростка нижньої щелепи, де цей нерв залягає [43], за раніше розпрацьованою нами методикою [44]. Вона дозволяє безпечно блокувати поверхне-ві гілки вушно-скроневого нерва й має пере-ваги над класичною, при якій вушно-скроне-вий нерв знеболюється попереду козелка вуха над виличною дугою [45][46][47][48][49], де проходить по-верхнева скронева артерія [50,51] й тому існує ризик її ушкодження. Хірургічні втручання у щічній ділянці (18 випадків) виконувались під місцевою провідниковою анестезією щічного нерва.…”
