The red ear syndrome

James W. Lance, MD

From the Institute of Neurological Sciences, The Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia.
Received October 30, 1995. Accepted in final form January 29, 1996.
Address correspondence and reprint requests to Prof Lance, Suite 5A, Wales Medical Centre, 66 High Street, Randwick, NSW 2031, Australia.

The complaint of a painful, burning, red ear may be associated with irritation of the third cervical root, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or thalamic syndrome.It may also occur without obvious structural cause in response to touch or heat. The condition may be an example of the ABC (Angry Back-firing C-nociceptor) syndrome with the increase in ear temperature being caused by the antidromic release of vasodilator peptides.
