Abstract
Nine days after left ophthalmic-distribution zoster, a 47-year-old man developed SUNCT headaches (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing). In contrast to two prior cases of SUNCT that developed after varicella zoster virus (VZV) meningoencephalitis without rash, this case describes an association of SUNCT with overt zoster, thus adding to the spectrum of headache and facial pain syndromes caused by VZV reactivation.Entities:
