Abstract
The SUNCT syndrome is a recently described headache disorder character ised by shortlasting, unilateral headache attacks with conjunctival in jection and tearing. Our report presents a further case and compares t he findings in our patient with those in the cases described earlier. In addition, we review the literature and discuss possible aetiologica l and pathogenetic factors as well as the differential diagnosis of SU NCT syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia and cluster headache syndromes.
