A 57-year-old woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) receiving mechanical ventilation developed intractable right temporal headache. She was diagnosed with brain abscess secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media. In this case, the otitis media was caused by nasopharyngeal reflux
We describe a 25-year-old male who developed, in the course of an acute exacerbation of his multiple sclerosis, cluster headache-like attacks which responded to oxygen therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion in the area of the ipsilateral pontomedullary trigeminal nuclei. This
We report a 34-year-old female case of diffuse systemic sclerosis (SSc) with generalized ectopic calcification, who developed severe headache with vertical atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) complicated by calcification around the odontoid process (crowned dens pattern calcification). Although a rare
A patient with a history of facial myokymia presented with apoplectic headache and a 3rd nerve palsy. Initial CT, lumbar puncture, and cerebral angiogram were unremarkable, but subsequent CSF examination revealed oligoclonal bands. MRI displayed over 30 white matter lesions. This case demonstrates
A patient with symptomatic trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia (TAC) provides a chance to understand the pathophysiology and anatomic correlates of TAC. A 28-year-old woman experienced intermittent sharp and excruciating pain over her right temporal, ear and neck regions for 3 days. The headaches
BACKGROUND
Headaches are one of the most frequent reasons for pain in multiple sclerosis (MS) individuals. Characterization of headaches and delineating possible relationships with MS-related determinants can ultimately circumvent headaches.
METHODS
In a prospective case-control study, 65 Iranian
The incidence of headache at the onset of relapsing-remitting pediatric multiple sclerosis (MS) is more frequent than in the adult MS population, but headache as the only symptom of a relapse, both in adults and children, is unusual. Here we describe the case of a 5-year-old child who developed MS
We report the case of a patient who developed typical cluster headache attacks and was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis (MS) at the same time. The headache attacks resolved after i.v. treatment with methylprednisolone. MR imaging showed a pontine demyelinating lesion involving the trigeminal
We describe a case with simultaneous occurrence of cluster headache-like pain and multiple sclerosis. Both neuroimaging and neurophysiology (trigeminal evoked potentials) revealed a demyelination plaque in the pons, at the trigeminal root entry zone, on the side of pain. Although that type of lesion
A 57-year-old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was admitted because of depressive state. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), an antidepressant, was started on the admission day. The throbbing headache in the right temporal region appeared on day 3, and an analgesic drug was
Pain, including headache, is a frequent complaint of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Prevalence of headache in patients with MS was reported to be higher than 50%, but it is uncertain if this is different than what is seen in the general population. Nonetheless, it is possible that MS and
Headache is not generally considered as a symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS), but several studies have showed that it is more frequent (about 50%) in MS patients than in controls or general population. Headache may occur at onset and during the course of the disease. Tension-type headache and
The occurrence of migraine headaches in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been recognized for quite some time but the significance of this association to the pathogenesis of MS largely has been ignored. Several reports have documented that migraine headaches may occur during exacerbation of

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent immune-mediated inflammation of the central nervous system that can lead to early disability. Headaches have not been considered as MS-related symptoms initially, whereas higher prevalence rates were reported since 2000. Postmortem histological
The aim of this study was to explore the association between different types of headache (HA) and the clinical features of multiple sclerosis (MS). The relationship between HA and MS-specific therapies was also analysed. A total of 102 MS patients were recruited at the MS Centre of S. Andrea
