Daily Pain

For twelve years, the subject of this report, a 38-year-old man, presented a clinical condition compatible with the SUNCT (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) syndrome. He presented a stabbing and intense daily pain located in the left pre-auricular and temporal regions. Each of these intense pain attacks lasted around one minute and presented a frequency of two to eight times per day. The pain was associated with ipsilateral lacrimation, conjunctival injection and rhinorrhea. MRI revealed a pituitary tumor with little suprasellar extent. The subject’s serial assays of prolactin, GH, TSH and ACTH were within normal levels. Following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, with complete removal of the tumor, the subject no more presented pain. The pathological diagnosis was non-secreting adenoma. Fourteen months after the surgery, he remains symptom-free.

The trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs) are characterized by short-lasting unilateral headaches with autonomic features (1). They include four headache disorders, cluster headache (CH), paroxysmal hemicrania (PH), SUNCT syndrome and hemicrania continua (HC). The coexistence of different ipsilateral TACs in the same patient has been previously reported in six published cases (2-6). In five of these patients an association of CH and PH was noted (2-5). The two varieties of attacks occurred separately in three patients, while their simultaneous occurrence was observed in two cases. In another patient the successive occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia, SUNCT syndrome, PH and CH in one active headache period was noted (6). All the reported cases concerned male patients. We describe what we believe to be the first case of coexistence of two different contralateral TACs.

First Case

Background: The SUNCT syndrome (short-unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing) can be very disabling for affected patients and is often refractory to medical management. We report the first case of SUNCT with a successful response to stereotactic radiosurgery without any adverse effect. Case: After failing optimal medical treatment, a 82-year old male patient suffering from SUNCT syndrome was treated with Gamma knife radiosurgery. The trigeminal nerve and sphenopalatine ganglion were targeted with a maximum dose of 80 Gy each. The patient had complete pain cessation 2 weeks after the treatment, and remains pain-free with no medication at the latest follow-up 39 months after radiosurgery. He did not have any side effect from the procedure. Conclusion: Gamma knife radiosurgery is an option for medically refractory SUNCT patients.
