description A 36-year-old woman with no significant past medical history underwent a sphenopalatine ganglion block for treatment of a month-long migraine headache refractory to conservative treatment protocols. The headache resolved initially, but 1 day following the procedure, the headache recurred. The patient also developed an erythematous and edematous rash which cultures confirmed to be herpes simplex virus (HSV). Following several unsuccessful treatment modalities, the patient received valacyclovir, which resulted in resolution of her headache. Underlying HSV-1 infection may cause intractable migraine headache and nerve blocks may potentiate reactivation of latent HSV infection that caused the skin lesion in this case.
