Familial SUNCT in mother and son
We report on a mother and son with episodic, short-lasting, intense, paroxysmal headaches, with the same localization in the left retroauricular region, associated with prominent conjunctival injection and tearing, which are consistent with the diagnosis of SUNCT (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing).
Discussion
These cases corroborate the existence of hereditary forms of this disorder, thus supporting its primary nature.
