Here, we described a case of postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia after COVID vaccination that was treated with percutaneous retrogasserian glycerol rhizotomy (PRGR) resulting in complete pain relief. We reported a case involving a 70\u2010year\u2010old female who had herpes zoster infection in the ophthalmic branch (V1) dermatome following COVID vaccination and presented with paroxysmal electric shock\u2010like sensation without a trigger. Her pain was refractory to medical management. Her Barrow Neurological Institute pain intensity score was IV. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was normal. PRGR was performed. The patient's pain decreased over the next 2\u2009h, and she was pain\u2010free from post\u2010procedure Day 2 while taking carbamazepine 400\u2009mg\/day, which was tapered over 2\u2009weeks. At her 3\u2010month follow\u2010up, the patient was reviewed and remained pain\u2010free. Percutaneous treatment of postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia may be considered the treatment of choice in vaccination\u2010induced postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.70814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,23]],"date-time":"2025-08-23T06:59:42Z","timestamp":1755932382000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Retrogasserian Glycerol Rhizotomy (<scp>RGGR<\/scp>) for Trigeminal Neuralgia Induced by Postvaccination Herpetic Reactivation: A Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Kodeeswaran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Academy and Research Foundation, Department of Neurosurgery Government Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital  Chennai Tamil Nadu India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Naveen Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery Government Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital  Chennai Tamil Nadu India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.
