| Title | Post-Traumatic Cluster Headache: From the Periphery to the Central Nervous System? | | Author(s) | Lambru G, Castellini P, Manzoni GC, Torelli P | | Institution | From the Headache Centre, Department of Neurology, University of Parma, c/o Ospedale Maggiore, Parma, Italy. | | Source | Headache 2009 Jun 1. | | Abstract | (Headache 2009;**:**-**) A correlation between head trauma and cluster headache is believed to exist. We report a case of post-traumatic episodic cluster headache that fulfills the criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd edition. The distinctive features of this case are: a close temporal relation between head trauma and headache onset; pain ipsilateral to the side of trauma; mild severity of trauma; episodic course well-responsive to low doses of verapamil. Given the close temporal relation between the 2 events, multiple hypotheses can be advanced about a possible role of head trauma in the pathogenesis of cluster headache. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
