Cerebral aneurysm presenting as cough headache

Summary

Cough headache syndrome diagnosis typically involves ruling out brain lesions. However, a cerebral aneurysm can present as a primary symptom, requiring angiography for definitive diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Benign cough headache syndrome diagnosis necessitates excluding serious intracranial pathology.
  • Standard diagnostic protocols often rely on non-invasive neuroimaging techniques.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with recurrent cough headache as the sole initial symptom.
  • Initial non-invasive imaging did not reveal structural or mass lesions.

Findings:

  • Conventional cerebral angiography confirmed the presence of a cerebral aneurysm.
  • The patient's presentation mimicked benign cough headache syndrome.

Implications:

  • Cerebral aneurysms should be included in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with cough headache.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering vascular lesions in unexplained headache syndromes.
  • Advanced imaging may be required for accurate diagnosis in atypical presentations.
