Pract Neurol. 2024 Mar 19;24(2):114-115. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003844.

Abstract

Two patients presented with side-locked frontal head pain, involving the supraorbital nerve territory, with an associated hypopigmented macule. The clinical progress and nerve biopsy in one indicated leprosy. In endemic regions, supraorbital neuralgia may be caused by leprosy sometimes without other neurocutaneous markers.
