Primary orgasmic headache can rarely be associated with secondary causes like middle cerebral artery dissection. A severe or neurologically symptomatic orgasmic headache warrants thorough investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Orgasmic headache is a primary headache disorder characterized by sudden, severe headaches during sexual activity.
  • While typically benign, secondary causes must be considered, especially with atypical presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an unusual case of primary orgasmic headache associated with middle cerebral artery dissection.
  • To highlight the importance of diagnostic evaluation for atypical orgasmic headaches.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with a long history of primary orgasmic headache.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic workup following a severe orgasmic headache episode.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The patient experienced an unusually severe orgasmic headache.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed a middle cerebral artery dissection.

    • Conclusions:

    • This case illustrates a rare association between primary orgasmic headache and secondary causes (artery dissection).
    • Atypical or severe orgasmic headaches, particularly with neurological symptoms, necessitate comprehensive diagnostic assessment to rule out secondary etiologies.
