| neuralgia facialis vera | A severe paroxysmal lancinating pain deep in the ear, on the anterior wall of the external meatus, and on a small area just in front of the pinna. Synonym: geniculate otalgia, Hunt's neuralgia, neuralgia facialis vera. (05 Mar 2000) |

| suboccipital neuralgia | <syndrome> A clinical complex of pain, tenderness, tight neck musculature, vasomotor instability, and ill-defined symptoms such as dizziness and blurred vision as the result of trauma to the neck.
