Hemicrania continua (HC) is a rare chronic headache disorder, typically accompanied by cranial autonomic features and responding to therapeutic doses of indomethacin. The pathophysiology of hemicrania continua is not fully understood.
We report a series of three patients who developed a continuous hemicranial headache after cranial surgery. Each case presented a similar phenotype of continuous half-sided headache, cranial autonomic symptoms with exacerbations (2/3), and a response to indomethacin.
The biology of hemicrania continua may be activated post-craniotomy just as can be seen with other primary headache disorders.
持续性偏侧头痛(HC)是一种罕见的慢性头痛疾病,通常伴有头部自主神经症状,对治疗剂量的吲哚美辛有反应。持续性偏侧头痛的病理生理学尚未完全明确。
我们报告了3例患者,他们在开颅手术后出现了持续性偏侧头痛。每例患者均表现出相似的持续性单侧头痛、伴有加重的头部自主神经症状(2/3)以及对吲哚美辛有反应的表型。
正如其他原发性头痛疾病一样,开颅术后持续性偏侧头痛的生物学机制可能被激活。
