Circadian rhythmicity on red ear syndrome in a patient with migraine: A case report

Abstract

Background Red ear syndrome (RES) was first described by Lance in 1994. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of redness of the ear, accompanied by burning pain, increased temperature, dysesthesia, and nosological relationship with headache. Case We report the case of a 43‐year‐old woman with migraine who developed RES. Redness episodes occurred at the same time of the day. She had a good therapeutic response to gabapentin. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of RES in which redness episodes occurred at the same time of the day.
