Abstract

Identify the number of cases with a possible diagnosis of short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) or short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with cranial autonomic symptoms (SUNA) in patients with a previous diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) at the Neurology Service of the National Medical Center 20 de Noviembre. This will confirm that these trigeminal-autonomic cephalalgias should be ruled out and considered as differential diagnoses of trigeminal neuralgia.
