Hemicrania continua (HC) was described in 1984 as a headache syndrome with absolute responsiveness to indomethacin (1). Since then a number of cases were reported in the literature (reviewed in 2, 3), but there is still uncertainty about its diagnostic clinical features. Symptomatic HC can occur, e.g. in mesenchymal tumours of the sphenoid bone (4), HIV (5) or malignant lung neoplasm (6). We report two patients with indomethacin-sensitive hemicrania associated with an extracranial vascular malformation.

Abstract

Hemicrania continua (HC) was described in 1984 as a headache syndrome with absolute responsiveness to indomethacin (1). Since then a number of cases were reported in the literature (reviewed in 2, 3), but there is still uncertainty about its diagnostic clinical features. Symptomatic HC can occur, e.g. in mesenchymal tumours of the sphenoid bone (4), HIV (5) or malignant lung neoplasm (6). We report two patients with indomethacin-sensitive hemicrania associated with an extracranial vascular malformation.
