AbstractWe herein report the first case of occipital neuralgia secondary to spinal cord infarction. A 74-year-old woman suddenly developed numbness and dysmetria in her right arm. Two days later, she developed a paroxysmal shooting pain in the right posterior part of the scalp three to five times per day. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintense lesion in the right posterior column and dorsal root entry zone at the C2 level. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with occipital neuralgia secondary to spinal cord infarction. Diverse etiologies need to be considered in occipital neuralgia secondary to spinal cord lesions.
