    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pain Medicine

    Background:

    • Cervicogenic headache is a secondary headache disorder characterized by neck pain.
    • Diagnostic criteria involve neck involvement and specific headache patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical manifestations of cervicogenic headache in a cohort of patients.
    • To identify common symptoms and triggers associated with this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of 11 patients meeting specific cervicogenic headache criteria.
    • Detailed analysis of patient demographics, symptom history, accompanying phenomena, and physical examination findings.

    Main Results:

    • All 11 patients were female, with symptom onset between ages 6-40 (mean 30) and a mean symptom duration of 13 years.
    • Common pain locations included periorbital, temporal, and occipital regions. Phonophobia, dizziness, and ipsilateral visual disturbances were frequent.
    • Reduced neck movement and trigeminal sensory changes were noted. Attacks were triggered by head movements or neck pressure.

    Conclusions:

    • Cervicogenic headache presents with distinct clinical features, predominantly in females.
    • Neck movement and specific neck palpation points are significant triggers for cervicogenic headache attacks.
