Abstract

Vague complaints of ear pain can bring frustration in the neurology office as the differential is broad and often nonneurologic. Herein, we present a case of red ear syndrome, a treatable migraine variant that can cause significant distress and lead to delayed treatment if not considered as a diagnostic possibility.
