  • Title: Sluder's neuralgia: a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia?
    Author: Oomen KP, van Wijck AJ, Hordijk GJ, de Ru JA.
    Journal: Cephalalgia; 2010 Mar; 30(3):360-4. PubMed ID: 19614698.
    Abstract:
    The objective was to formulate distinctive criteria to substantiate our opinion that Sluder's neuralgia and cluster headache are two different clinical entities. A systematic review was carried out of all available, original literature on Sluder's neuralgia. Pain characteristics, periodicity and associated signs and symptoms were studied and listed according to frequency of appearance. Eleven articles on Sluder's neuralgia were evaluated. Several differences between Sluder's neuralgia and cluster headache became evident. Based on described symptoms, new criteria for Sluder's neuralgia could be formulated. Sluder's neuralgia and cluster headache could possibly be regarded as two different headache syndromes, and Sluder's neuralgia could be a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia.
