Supraorbital neuralgia is defined by the International Classification of Headache Disorders-2 by the following diagnostic criteria: paroxysmal or constant pain in the region of the supraorbital notch and medial aspect of the forehead in the area supplied by the supraorbital nerve; tenderness over the nerve in the supraorbital notch; and pain is abolished by local anesthetic blockade or ablation of the supraorbital nerve.
