Red ear syndrome (RES) is characterised by attacks of unilateral or bilateral burning ear pain associated with erythema. Primary and secondary forms have been described. Primary RES appears to have a frequent association with primary headaches especially migraine. Here, we describe the case of a woman with short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform attacks with cranial autonomic symptoms (SUNA) and recurrent episodes of ipsilateral red ear triggerable by cutaneous stimulation. Lamotrigine was beneficial for her SUNA but not for the RES. Both these disorders are extremely rare therefore their coexistence in the same individual may suggest similar pathophysiological mechanisms rather than a chance association.
红耳综合征（RES）的特征是单侧或双侧耳部烧灼感疼痛，并伴有红斑。已经描述了原发性和继发性。原发性 RES 似乎与原发性头痛（尤其是偏头痛）有频繁的关联。在这里，我们描述了一位女性的病例，她患有短暂单侧神经痛伴颅自主症状（SUNA）和同侧红耳反复发作，可通过皮肤刺激引发。拉莫三嗪对她的 SUNA 有效，但对 RES 无效。这两种疾病都非常罕见，因此它们在同一患者中同时存在可能提示相似的病理生理机制，而不是偶然关联。
