Occipital neuralgia also known as C2 neuralgia or (rarely) Arnold’s neuralgia is a medical condition characterized by chronic pain in the upper neck back of the head and behind the eyes. These areas correspond to the locations of the lesser and greater occipital nerves. The greater occipital nerve also has an artery that supplies blood that is wrapped around it – the occipital artery – that can contribute to the neuralgia.
