The International Headache Society expresses its gratitude for unrestricted grants given to the Society with a view to supporting its activities, including The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd edition, by the following companies: Pfizer Merck Allergan Boots Healthcare International Vernalis The headache classification subcommittee and its working groups have received valuable suggestions and critiques from a great number of colleagues around the world. They cannot all be acknowledged individually but we wish to mention two specifically. Robert Spitzer’s immense experience in psychiatric disease classification inspired the reconstituted headache classification subcommittee at its first meeting. Michael B First is a psychiatrist and an expert in disease classification. He has been invaluable as an outside expert, early on helping the many new members who were unfamiliar with disease classification and, later, often guiding our steps in this difficult art. Despite the fact that headache is remote to his speciality he graciously accepted to chair a newly-formed working group on headache attributed to psychiatric disease. Peter Goadsby, Richard B Lipton, Jes Olesen and Stephen D Silberstein have organised the practical aspects of our meetings. Kirsten Hjelm has done most of the administrative and secretarial work for the subcommittee. Rosemary Chilcott has managed the finances. We thank both for their never-failing support. 7 Table of Contents p Preface to the first edition 9 Preface to the second edition 10 Preface to the first revision 12 Introduction 13 How to use the classification 16 Classification 19 Part One: The Primary Headaches 1.

The case reported is that of a 9-year-old girl with brief episodes (of a few minutes) of severe frontal headache, which cor- responded to the presence of concurrent spikes and slow waves, starting in the right temporal area. A dysplastic lesion of the right temporal lobe was observed by MRI and the patient received surgery, with subsequent dis- appearance of headaches. This case highlights ictal EEG as the main dia- gnostic tool for epileptic headache. We discuss the terminology regarding this type of manifestation and believe that cases without subsequent epileptic manifestations, as in the present case, should be more appropri- ately referred to as “pure ictal epileptic headache” or simply “pure epileptic headache”.

However, it is only since the 1970s that it has become the subject of more extensive and detailed scientific interest. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the development of the concept of HAWSA, its clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment especially from the research perspective of the last 20 years. Primary HAWSA is a benign condition, whose etiology is unknown; however, at the first occurrence of headache associated with sexual activity, it is necessary to exclude conditions that are usually immediately life-threatening. Migraine, hypnic headache or hemicrania continua have been reported to co-occur with HAWSA, but their common pathophysiologic basis is still unknown. Recent advances in the treatment of HAWSA include the Citation: Sci´slicki,P.;´ Sztuba, K.; introduction of topiramate, progesterone, and treatments such as greater occipital nerve injection, Klimkowicz-Mrowiec, A.; arterial embolization, and manual therapy.

  • Headache Associated with Sexual Activity
    A Rare Primary Headache Disorder: Headache Associated With Sexual Activity Buse Cagla ARI1, Fusun Mayda Domac2, and Samiye Ulutas2 1Siirt State Hospital 2Erenkoy Mental and Nervous Diseases Training and Research Hospital May 6, 2020 Abstract Background: Primary headache associated with sexual activity is a rare type of headache mostly seen in male gender and initiates at the 3rd decade. Even though the pathophysiology is still unknown, it is a benign type of headache and must be reminded on the differential diagnosis of the secondary headache. Materials&Methods: Thirteen patients diagnosed as primary headache associated with sexual activity were evaluated by their clinical and demographic data. Results:Ten male and three female patients were evaluated. The mean age was 37.07± 7.67. Headache was usually localized at bilateral occipital area or diffuse, starting with a severe ache and sudden explosive intensity in association with preorgasm in 8 patients and orgasm in 5 patients with a mean VAS score of 7.8±1.2. The mean duration was 21.53± 15.32 minutes. Five of the patients had a history of migraine, 3 had arteriel hypertension and two were diagnosed as primary thunderclap headache with sudden beginning and high intensity ache. Conclusion: Herein we presented our cases to highlight the importance of differential diagnosis. Patients may have difficulty of explaining the problem therefore their sexual activity could be limited.Apart from pharmacological prevention, counselling and facilitation plays important role in managing. Introduction Primary headache disorders associated with sexual activity (HAS) was formerly known as benign sexu- al/intercourse headache or orgasmic cephalalgia (1).

  • Definition a Migraine Is a Common Type of Headache That May Occur
    Definition A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group of symptoms, usually vision disturbances, that serve as a warning sign that a bad headache is coming. Most people, however, do not have such warning signs. See also: • Migraine without aura (no warning symptoms) • Migraine with aura (visual disturbances before the headache starts) • Mixed tension migraine (features of both migraines and tension headache) Alternative Names Headache - migraine Causes, incidence, and risk factors A lot of people get migraines -- about 11 out of 100. The headaches tend to start between the ages of 10 and 46 and may run in families. Migraines occur more often in women than men. Pregnancy may reduce the number of migraines attacks. At least 60 percent of women with a history of migraines have fewer such headaches during the last two trimesters of pregnancy. Until the 1980s, scientists believed that migraines were due to changes in blood vessels within the brain. Today, most believe the attack actually begins in the brain itself, and involves various nerve pathways and chemicals in the brain. A migraine attack can be triggered by stress, food, environmental changes, or some other factor. However, the exact chain of events remains unclear. Migraine attacks may be triggered by: • Allergic reactions
