  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Context:

  • Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH), also known as Sjaastad syndrome, is a rare headache disorder.
  • CPH is characterized by unilateral, oculo-fronto-temporal pain, often accompanied by autonomic symptoms.

Purpose:

  • To provide an updated review of the clinical, pathogenic, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of CPH.
  • To highlight CPH's distinct features and differential diagnoses.

Summary:

  • CPH is a rare headache disorder, typically affecting women, with unilateral pain and autonomic symptoms.
  • A key diagnostic feature of CPH is its characteristic response to indomethacin therapy.
  • The exact pathogenesis remains unknown but may involve the trigeminal vascular system.

Impact:
