Red ear syndrome (RES) is characterized by the attack-like occurrence of erythema, edema and dysesthesia of one or less frequently both ears. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with stabbing pain and marked erythema and discrete edema of one ear, existing for 4 months, occasionally accompanied by burning and local hyperhidrosis. Differential diagnoses such as perichondritis, contact dermatitis, erysipelas and other infections were ruled out. Based on her history, the clinical pattern and the unremarkable further diagnostics, we diagnosed RES. A review of the literature is included.
红斑耳综合征（RES）的特征为单侧或偶双侧耳部突发红斑、水肿和感觉异常。我们报告了一例 31 岁女性病例，其出现单侧耳部刺痛、明显红斑和局限性水肿，持续 4 个月，偶伴有烧灼感和局部多汗。已排除耳廓软骨膜炎、接触性皮炎、丹毒和其他感染等鉴别诊断。根据病史、临床表现和进一步检查结果无明显异常，我们诊断为红斑耳综合征。并对相关文献进行了回顾。
