Symptomatic cluster-like headaches have been described with lesions of the trigeminal and parasympathetic systems. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old woman with continuous auricular pain and a positional cluster-like headache associated with red ear syndrome. Clinical data and morphological investigations raised the hypothesis of a neurovascular compression between the C3 root and vertebral artery. Neurosurgical exploration found a fibrosis surrounding both the C3 root and the vertebral artery. The excellent outcome after microvascular cervical decompression suggests a causal relationship between the cluster-like headache and the vertebral constraint on the C3 root.

Initial Objective

Background: The red ear syndrome represents a rare symptom complex consisting of auricular erythema associated with painful and burning sensations. It has been described in combination with tinnitus rarely. It has been hypothesized to be etiologically related to altered trigeminal afferent input, temporomandibular disorders, and thalamic dysfunction. Objectives: The initial objective of applying transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) in a case of red ear syndrome in combination with tinnitus was the alleviation of the phantom sounds. Study Design: This is a case report on the successful treatment of red ear syndrome with tinnitus by means of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) and a short review on the published cases of this condition. Setting: We present the case of a 50-year-old woman reporting a simultaneous onset of constant left-sided tinnitus and feelings of warmth accompanied by an intermittent stabbing and/or oppressive pain stretching from the ipsilateral ear to the head/neck/shoulder region, occasionally accompanied by nausea/vomiting and dizziness. After failure of pharmacological treatment attempts, either because of lacking clinical effects (gabapentin, zolmitriptan, and indomethacin) or because of adverse reactions (pregabaline), the patient was offered an experimental neuromodulatory treatment with bitemporal tRNS primarily targeting the tinnitus complaints of the patient. Methods: tRNS was conducted in 2 – 3 day sessions (stimulation site: bilateral temporal cortex/2.0 mA/10 s on-and-off-ramp/offset 0 mA/20 min/random frequencies 101 – 640Hz / NeuroConn Eldith DC-Stimulator plus). Results: In 3 consecutive pain attacks repeated sessions of tRNS resulted in substantial alleviation of pain intensity and a prolongation of the interval between attacks. This was an expected finding as the proposed tRNS treatment was initially offered to the patient aiming at an alleviation of the tinnitus complaints (which remained unaffected by tRNS). Limitations: The reported data derive from compassionate use treatment in one single patient. Application of a sham condition would have been desirable, but is not possible in the context of compassionate use treatment. Nevertheless, we would consider it rather unlikely that the reported effects are purely unspecific as the patient did exclusively report symptom alleviation of pain-related parameters without affecting the tinnitus. Conclusions: This case report demonstrates the feasibility and therapeutic potential of applying neuromodulatory treatment approaches in red ear syndrome, a rare form of trigemino-autonomal headache. Therefore, it deserves detailed observation in clinical routine applications as well as controlled trials further investigating its neurobiological effects. Key words: Red ear syndrome, pain, trigemino-autonomal headache, chronic tinnitus, transcranial electrical stimulation, random noise stimulation

Context: The Red Ear Syndrome” (RES) is a rare condition characterized by ear hyperemia associated with burning pain. This syndrome is classified into secondary and idiopathic forms, which pathophysiological mechanisms are still unclear. Idiopathic forms occur isolated or associated with primary headaches and secondary forms are associated to cervical disorders. The aim of this study is to report a case of RES related to migraine, the new published cases make this syndrome earn more attention and investigation. Case report: A 31-year-old woman presented with acute pain, edema and marked erythema, occasionally accompanied by hyperhidrosis and local burning. These episodes occurred spontaneously or were induced by triggers. During attacks, cooling was the only means of relief. The patient reported a clear association between RES and some migraine attacks. Extensive laboratory and radiological investigation showed no abnormalities. Conclusions: RES is mainly determined by sudden or induced attacks of burning pain and redness in the ear. Attacks can last from minutes to hours in conjunction with primary headaches. The uncertainty about the etiology of this syndrome is an obstacle to treatment.
