Sindromul urechii roşii (red ear syndrome). Primul caz clinic diagnosticat în Republica Moldova

Abstract

The Red Ear Syndrome (RES) was fi rst described by Lance JW in 1994 intending to elucidate “the mystery of one read ear” in a report of three cases of recurrent attacks of unilateral ear discomfort or burning associated with erythema. In fact clinical manifestations may vary, determined probably by different pathophysiologic mechanism. This is a fi rst case report of patient with Red Ear Syndrome in the Republic of Moldova associated with Chronic Migraine. This paper presents the available data concerning the etiology, theories of pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic management and treatment of the RES.
