- Abstract: Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) is a rare primary headache disorder characterized by severe intractable stabbing headache and accompanying tearing and conjunctival injections. In this report, we present a case of a patient with SUNCT who achieved sustained remarkable improvement more than 6 months following successful treatment with a single session of botulinum toxin A, after being refractory or intolerant to several preventives for 4 months.
