description Supraorbital neuralgia (SON) is a rare type of neuralgia characterized by persistent pain over the supraorbital region and forehead along with shock like paresthesia in the distribution of the supraorbital nerve. SON is defined by the 'International Classification of Headache Disorder-2' by the following three criteria: 1) Pain on the supraorbital notch, forehead; 2) Tenderness in the supraorbital notch and in the area supplied by the supraorbital nerve; 3) Absolute-but transitory-relief of symptoms upon supraorbital nerve blockage. Sensory dysfunctions, such as hypoesthesia, paresthesia and allodynia and typical neuralgic features, may be present. Herein, we present a patient with supraorbital neuralgia who spontaneously resolved.
