BackgroundEpisodic headache with spontaneous hypothermia constitute an uncommon association and is not well recognized in the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). Spontaneous periodic hypothermia, also called Shapiro's syndrome, is a rare disease characterized by hypothermia attacks associated or not with hyperhidrosis without any triggering factor.Case presentationWe report a rare case of Shapiro's syndrome variantrevealed by episodes of headache with spontaneous hypothermia witheffectiveness of clonidine therapy in a 76-year-old Parkinson's disease woman.ConclusionsIn the literature, apart from Shapiro's syndrome, headache withhypothermia seem to occur very rarely. In our case,these symptoms may be considered as a very rare non-motor fluctuation ofParkinson's disease.
