A case of recurrent facial pain associated with a pourfour du petit syndrome: a new entity?

Collongues N1, Labouret P, Speeg C, de Seze J.Author information 1Department of Neurology, Hôpital Universitaire de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France.AbstractWe report the case of a 38-year-old woman with a history of migraine who experienced an association of recurrent unilateral facial pain and Pourfour du Petit syndrome. The episodes occurred for between a few seconds and up to 3 minutes up to 6 times a day mimicking short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headaches with cranial autonomic symptoms. No lesional cause was found and the use of topiramate led to a nearly complete disappearance of the episodes. This new entity raises the question of a novel autonomic dysfunction in short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headaches with cranial autonomic symptoms or an unexpected presentation of migraine.

Recently, mutations in the ATP1A3 gene have been identified as the causal mechanism of AHC. Regarding the differential diagnosis of AHC, glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome may be considered because these two disorders share some paroxystic and nonparoxystic features.
