Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania consists of unilateral paroxysmal headaches, commonly in women, and relieved by indomethacin. Two patients with the condition are reported, one of whom had essential thrombocythaemia and the headaches remitted when the platelet count returned to normal. Platelet function may be worth exploring in these headaches.
