What is SUNCT syndrome associated with cavernous angioma of the brain stem about?
A 62-year-old male patient with 2 years f SUNCT syndrome is described. The patient presented with long-lasting periods of frequent attacks of intense orbital pain with a duration of about 1 min, associated with ipsilateral conjunctival injection, lacrimation and rhinorrhea. Cranial MRI and cerebral angiography demonstrated an ipsilateral cavernous angioma of the pons, involving the trigeminal roots. As the pain was refractory to most treatments, including carbamazepine, the patient asked for, and eventually underwent, direct surgical excision of the malformation. Following the operation, his neurological conditions rapidly deteriorated and he died of postoperative complications (hemorrhage).
