Background: Episodic 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 Presentation: We 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.
Conclusions: In 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.

Objectives: Shapiro's syndrome (SS) is a rare condition characterized by spontaneous periodic hypothermia. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and etiology of this syndrome remain controversial, and fewer than 100 cases have been reported to date. The objective of this case report is to present a unique iatrogenic case of SS and contribute additional insights into the underlying etiology of this rare disorder.

Unlabelled: Spontaneous periodic hypothermia (SPH) is an exceptionally rare condition characterised by paroxysmal episodes of spontaneous hypothermia. While commonly associated with Shapiro syndrome, which includes SPH, hyperhidrosis and agenesis of the corpus callosum, there are also cases of SPH that do not exhibit these defining characteristics, known as 'Shapiro syndrome variant'. These variants may present with diverse brain imaging findings but no agenesis of the corpus callosum, suggesting different potential aetiologies.
