Abstract:
Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a headache, but its origin is in the neck. Recently, two cases of intracranial tumour, which unfortunately were originally diagnosed as CEH, were published. The authors felt that this sequence of events demonstrates the insufficiency of the current CEH criteria. We--on the other hand--feel strongly that, on the contrary, this small challenge may have demonstrated the robustness of the CEH criteria. The criteria of CEH were actually not fulfilled at any time. We marshal our arguments in support of this view and concentrate on one of their cases (no. 1).
