Abstract:
The present communication represents an updating of the clinical features of SUNCT. The characteristics of SUNCT have been weighed against other orbital/periorbital headache syndromes towards which differential diagnosis is mandatory. In this group, there are various headaches: cluster headache syndrome, first branch trigeminal neuralgia, and idiopathic stabbing headache (jabs and jolts syndrome). SUNCT emerges as a fairly clear-cut, clinical syndrome. A set of diagnostic criteria of SUNCT syndrome is also given.
