Nerve resection and re-location may relieve causalgia: A case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article reports the relief of severe causalgia of the right infra-orbital nerve by nerve section and re-location in a 14-year-old boy who had worsening neuropathic pain (NP) and was housebound and refractory to all analgesics for 14 months. His infra-orbital nerve was sectioned and re-located into his buccal fat pad. Severe steady burning, electric shock-like pain and allodynia disappeared and he was able to return to school and an increasingly normal life at one year post-operatively and is pain-free at 3 years and 6 months of follow-up. With NP further deafferentation can cause a worsening of the pain or anaesthesia dolorosa. In this instance there was dramatic and then sequential, gradual and complete resolution of all components of this particular form of NP. Therefore, in selected patients with causalgia this nerve re-location technique may help in symptom resolution and improve quality of life.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
