Distinct from trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, or paroxysmal hemicrania, this rare syndrome is generally refractory to various medications. We report a 63-year-old man diagnosed with SUNCT syndrome, whose symptoms were relieved by verapamil. The therapeutic effects of verapamil on SUNCT syndrome remain to be verified by further experiences. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(4):407~409, 2001)
