A new minimally invasive technique for cauterizing the maxillary artery and its application in the treatment of cluster headache.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
To describe a new, relatively atraumatic method of cauterizing the maxillary artery and its effectiveness in treating cluster headache.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Five patients with cluster headache were treated with arterial ligation of certain terminal branches of the external carotid artery. A new, atraumatic method of cauterizing the maxillary artery is described.
RESULTS:
The success rate and postoperative morbidity are presented. In four out of five patients the cluster attacks ceased immediately following surgery.
CONCLUSION:
A new intraoral technique for maxillary artery cauterization and the effectiveness of cauterization of the terminal branches of the external carotid artery in the treatment of cluster headache are described. Although the sample is small, the results are encouraging, and may offer permanent relief of cluster headache pain.

Hi Franzi,
Ich lebe in Johannesburg und habe seit vielen Jahren Clusterkopfschmerzen. Ich war bei Dr Schevel zur Behandlung. Er emfahl mir eine sehr teure OP der Carotis arterien. Ich weiss nicht ob es die von Dir beschriebene OP ist. Ich schickte die op Beschreibung meinem früheren Arzt Prof. Arne May mit der Bitte diese zu beurteilen. Seine Antwort war eindeutig: diese OP ist absoluter Humbuck! Und zeugt von Unverständnis über die Ursachen von Clusterkopfschmerz. Ich weiss, dass die Methoden von dr Shevels in Südafrika auch sehr umstritten sind. Ich bin jedenfalls nicht mehr in die Headach Clinik gegangen obwohl mein Arbeitsplatz in Parktown nur einpaar Meter entfernt ist
