Hemicrania continua, a rare headache disorder, typically arises spontaneously. This study identifies head trauma as a potential trigger in four new cases, challenging previous assumptions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Hemicrania continua is a rare, continuous hemicranial headache disorder.
  • It is characterized by a low-grade baseline headache with superimposed exacerbations.
  • Autonomic features may be present but are less pronounced than in cluster headache.

Observation:

  • The diagnosis of hemicrania continua is confirmed by a positive response to indomethacin.
  • Historically, hemicrania continua has typically arisen de novo, without a clear trigger.
  • This report details four patients where hemicrania continua onset was linked to head trauma.

Findings:

  • The onset of hemicrania continua can be temporally associated with head trauma.
  • This finding suggests head trauma as a potential trigger for this rare headache disorder.

  • Four cases illustrate this newly observed link between head trauma and hemicrania continua.

    • Implications:

    • Head trauma should be considered as a potential trigger for hemicrania continua.
    • This expands the understanding of the etiology of hemicrania continua.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the causal relationship between head trauma and hemicrania continua.
