Common Causes

Hemicrania continua (HC)-tic syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the overlap of HC and trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or TN-like paroxysms. We describe a case of secondary HC-tic syndrome related to fungal sphenoiditis. Less common causes including sphenoiditis should be considered when headache presents with a refractory and complicated form.

Patients Experience

Hemicrania continua is an uncommon primary headache characterized by continuous, unilateral cranial pain of moderate intensity, more painful exacerbations with cranial autonomic features, and an absolute response to indomethacin. It is considered one of the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. Activation of the trigeminal–autonomic reflex and the contralateral posterior hypothalamic grey is thought to play an important role in its pathophysiology. The mean age of onset is in the third decade and there is a female preponderance of 2:1. Hemicrania continua can be divided into a remitting and an unremitting type; most patients suffer from the unremitting type. Any part of the head or neck can be affected, and pain is mainly described as throbbing. Many patients experience migrainous features during exacerbations. Physical and supplementary investigations are mostly normal. Other trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias and migraine are the main differential diagnostic alternatives for consideration.

Male Patients

The trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs) are characterized by short-lasting unilateral headaches with autonomic features (1). They include four headache disorders, cluster headache (CH), paroxysmal hemicrania (PH), SUNCT syndrome and hemicrania continua (HC). The coexistence of different ipsilateral TACs in the same patient has been previously reported in six published cases (2-6). In five of these patients an association of CH and PH was noted (2-5). The two varieties of attacks occurred separately in three patients, while their simultaneous occurrence was observed in two cases. In another patient the successive occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia, SUNCT syndrome, PH and CH in one active headache period was noted (6). All the reported cases concerned male patients. We describe what we believe to be the first case of coexistence of two different contralateral TACs.

Further Development

A case of “hemicrania continua” after cluster headache in the same subject is described. Indomethacin exerted an absolute, persistent effect on the present headache. Even though our data are insufficient to demonstrate a causal relation between the two forms of headache, they do suggest this real possibility.
