Benign cough headache is a rare primary headache disorder triggered by coughing. Brain MRI is essential to confirm it is benign, with unclear but likely intracranial pressure-related causes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Cough headache is an uncommon primary headache disorder.
  • Characterized by brief, intense pain attacks triggered by coughing.
  • Requires neuroimaging to rule out secondary causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical features, etiology, and management of benign cough headache.
  • To differentiate benign cough headache from secondary causes.
  • To provide guidance on prognosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of benign cough headache.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria.
  • Evaluation of management strategies and outcomes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Benign cough headache presents as sudden, short-lived head pain upon coughing.
  • Brain MRI is crucial for diagnosis, excluding structural abnormalities.
  • Likely linked to transient increases in intracranial pressure during coughing.

Conclusions:

  • Benign cough headache is a distinct primary headache syndrome.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on clinical features and neuroimaging.
  • Management focuses on trigger avoidance and symptomatic relief.
