Refractory Recurrent abdominal visceral pain (RAVP) is a severe condition and can be difficult to diagnose and manage due to its poorly understood pathophysiological mechanisms. Here we re-port a 7-year-old patient with a 2-year history of temporal lobe epilepsy manifesting refractory RAVP. The patient was treated with anterior temporal lobectomy (including the amygdala and the hippocampal formation), and the pain resolved completely after surgery. The patient re-mained free of seizures and pain during 4 years of post-surgery follow-up. Based on this case and previous studies, we speculate a central mechanism and neuromodulation target for refractory visceral pain.
