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.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
