Abstract
Severe chronic pacemaker pocket pain neuralgia is a rare complication of implanted pacemakers, and may require surgical management. Etiology of this disease is unknown, many theories, however, have been postulated. This paper analyzes one successful case, managed with lidocaine patches, and reviews the literature
