Cluster headache (CH) is diagnosed according to criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS), but, in clinical practice, these criteria seem too restrictive.

Three cases with periodicity and pain profile characteristic of episodic cluster headache, whose headaches were solely confined to the regions of the head and neck outside the trigeminal territory, are reported. Two were females, who had associated nausea and vomiting with severe attacks. The male
