Post-traumatic chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) with aura.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors describe a patient who developed chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) in close temporal relationship to a head injury. The subsequent attacks of CPH were associated with a typical migrainous sensory and motor aura. Administration of indomethacin 75 mg daily resulted in isolated occurrence of autonomic and aura symptoms in the absence of pain symptoms. The patient became completely asymptomatic on indomethacin 100 mg daily. Migrainous aura may be seen with trigeminal-autonomic headaches and may represent the expression of an aura-susceptibility gene rather than typical migraine headache biology.

Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania: the first possible bilateral case.
There are three headaches syndromes that are typically characterized by strictly unilateral and always same-sided attacks: cluster headache, "cervicogenic" headache, and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH). In rare cases, cluster headache also occurs bilaterally; "cervicogenic" headaches probably as well. We present a patient with a probable bilateral CPH. To our knowledge no such case has prev...
متن کاملA CPH-like picture in two patients with an orbitocavernous sinus syndrome.
Two patients with retroorbital pain syndromes with or without paresis of cranial nerves developed weeks after ipsilateral headache resembling chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) but without autonomic features. These findings might support the hypothesis that CPH may be caused by a pathological process in the region of the cavernous sinus, as has been proposed for the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS).
متن کاملChronic paroxysmal hemicrania and hemicrania continua responding to topiramate: two case reports.
Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) is a rare primary headache syndrome, which is classified along with cluster headache and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing as a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia (TACs). Hemicrania continua (HC) was previously classified as one of the TACs, but in the recent second classification of the International...
متن کاملThe Rare Painful Phenomena - Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania-tic Syndrome as a Clinically Isolated Syndrome of the Central Nervous System.
The association of paroxysmal hemicrania with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) has been described and called paroxysmal hemicrania-tic syndrome (PH-tic). We report the case of a patient diagnosed as having chronic PH-tic (CPH-tic) syndrome as a clinically isolated syndrome of the central nervous system (CNS) (CIS).A forty year old woman was admitted to our hospital suffering from right facial pain for...
متن کاملEpisodic paroxysmal hemicrania: a further case and review of the literature.
Episodic paroxysmal hemicrania was delineated as a clinical entity only two years ago, separating patients whose attacks remained grouped in bouts lasting weeks, from those who started irregularly and lapsed into chronicity or began and continued in the chronic state. A further case of the episodic variety and a review of the nine previously recorded cases is reported. The division into episodi...
