    The patient had dramatic pain relief lasting 24 h. Further, we did a conventional radio-frequency ablation (RFA) of CN IX and phenol neurolysis under fluoroscopic guidance via extraoral approach. ...in our case, we used RFA needle for sensory-motor stimulation to confirm optimal needle placement whereas to provide a long-lasting effect and good lesion we added chemical neurolysis with Phenol. Adequate preprocedural clinical and radiologic evaluation to rule out all etiologic possibilities of neuralgia; trial of maximum medical therapy; conduct of a diagnostic block with LA; and further meticulous conduct of RFA and phenol neurolysis lead to successful pain-free outcome in our case without any peri-procedural complications.
