Four SUNCT patients with a clinical “SUNCT status” witnessed by the investigators are reported. Such an extreme aggregation of typical attacks lasting for the better part of the day, 1 to 3 days in a row has not previously been observed. Appropriate supplementary examinations ruled out an intracranial lesion in all four patients. Indeed an observation period of more than 5 years speaks against a symptomatic etiology of SUNCT in these cases. Although rarely seen, clinical status may be a feature of the SUNCT syndrome.
