In this paper, we describe a simple and reliable way to preoperatively localize the auriculotemporal nerve in migraine surgery. We measured the correspondence of this cutaneous landmark and the ATN in twelve migraine patients operated at Site V. Our findings demonstrated a very high concordance between the described point and the underlying auriculotemporal nerve. This method might be of some utility in the preoperative planning of Site V Migraine surgery, in the strive of reducing the length of cutaneous incision and the invasiveness of the procedure.
