Headache attributed to unruptured saccular aneurysm, mimicking hemicrania continua
The Journal of Headache and Pain volume 6, pages 156–158 (2005)
Abstract
Unruptured cerebral arterial aneurysms most often remain asymptomatic, but they may cause headache or other symptoms or signs. We describe herewith a case of headache attributed to an unruptured nternal carotid artery aneurysm, clearly mimicking the phenotype of hemicrania continua. Potential pathophysiological explanations and recommendations for recognition of similar cases are discussed.
