ABSTRACT

Las cefaleas trigemino autonómicas (CTAs: cefalea tipo cluster, hemicránea paroxística y el SUNCT) son un grupo de cefaleas primarias, caracterizadas por la presencia de dolor unilateral en la distribución somática del nervio trigémino, asociada a características autonómicas cráneofaciales ipsilaterales. A pesar de sus elementos comunes, de forma individual, difieren con respecto a su duración, frecuencia y la respuesta a indometacina. Se presentan tres casos de CTAs de localización primaria dentomaxilar, sus características comunes y particulares, y la necesidad del diagnóstico diferencial con cuadros dolorosos provenientes de estructuras estomatognáticas.


The Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias (TACs: Cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicrania and SUNCT) are a primary headache grouped characterized by the presence of unilateral pain in the somatic distribution of the trigeminal nerve, associated with craniofacial ipsilateral autonomic features. Despite their common elements, individually these headaches differ with respect to attack duration, frequency, and response to indomethacin.A three cases of TACs of dentomaxilar location is presented, common and particular characteristics, and the need for differential diagnosis with pain from stomatognathic structures.

ABSTRACT

SUNCT is one of the rarest and least known primary headache disorders. Although its pathogenesis has been partially understood by functional neuroimaging and reports of secondary cases, there is limited understanding of its cause. We report a case of SUNCT in a 54-years-old man, that could not be strictly classified as secondary SUNCT; however, the time lag of pain onset suggests a new theory in which neuroplasticity could be involved in the origin and duration of the pain in SUNCT syndrome.


SUNCT é uma das mais raras e menos conhecidas cefaléias primárias. Embora sua patogênese esteja parcialmente compreendida por neuroimagem funcional e relatos de casos secundários, há insuficiente conhecimento a respeito de sua causa. Nós relatamos um caso de SUNCT em um homem de 54 anos, que não poderia ser estritamente classificado como SUNCT secundário; entretanto, o lapso de tempo para o início da dor sugere uma nova hipótese na qual a neuroplasticidade possa esta envolvida na origem e duração da dor na síndrome SUNCT.

ABSTRACT

AIM OF THE STUDY: To report a case of unilateral headache with two possibilities of diagnosis. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: Patient with unilateral, intense, stabbing periocular headache with conjuntival injection and tearing. Although the duration of attacks was typical of SUNCT, there was complete remission of the pain with indomethacin, suggesting that this was a case of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania with unusually short attack duration. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic trials of indomethacin on younger patients presenting clinical diagnosis of SUNCT could be tried on a more regular basis.


MOTIVO DO ESTUDO: Relatar um caso de cefaléia unilateral com duas possibilidades diagnósticas. MÉTODOS: Relato de caso. RESULTADOS: Paciente com cefaléia unilateral, intensa, em pontadas em região periocular, com congestão conjuntival e lacrimejamento. Embora a duração das crises fosse típica de SUNCT, houve remissão completa da dor com indometacina, sugerindo que se trate de um caso de hemicramia paroxística crônica com crises de duração atipicamente muito curta. CONCLUSÃO: Testes terapêuticos com indometacina em pacientes mais jovens com diagnóstico clínico de SUNCT poderiam ser tentados de forma mais regular.
