Episodic paroxysmal hemicrania was delineated as a clinical entity only two years ago, separating patients whose attacks remained grouped in bouts lasting weeks, from those who started irregularly and lapsed into chronicity or began and continued in the chronic state. A further case of the episodic variety and a review of the nine previously recorded cases is reported. The division into episodic and chronic variants of paroxysmal hemicrania conforms with the classification of cluster headache. The similarity of the two conditions is emphasised although the response to indomethacin in paroxysmal hemicrania is a special feature.
发作性阵发性偏侧头痛直到两年前才被界定为一种临床实体，它将发作仍呈持续数周的发作群的患者，与那些开始发作不规律并发展为慢性或一开始就处于慢性状态的患者区分开来。本文报告了另外一例发作性类型的病例，并对之前记录的9例病例进行了回顾。将阵发性偏侧头痛分为发作性和慢性变体符合丛集性头痛的分类。尽管阵发性偏侧头痛对消炎痛的反应是一个特殊特征，但强调了这两种病症的相似性。
