Idiopathic causes of retroauricular pain are rarely seen in clinical practice. We present a 9-year-old child who suffered from atypical retroauricular pain resistant to conventional treatment. After excluding any other cause of retroauricular pain, a nerve block was performed with a 0.3 ml lidocaine 1% injection into the trigger point. We believe that this case report is important because in the literature there are no similar cases described in children.
