Abstract
We present a review of 22 cases of headache mimicking chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) (17 female and five male; F : M ratio 3.4), nine cases mimicking hemicrania continua (HC) (seven female and two male) and seven cases mimicking SUNCT syndrome (five male and two female) found in association with other pathologies published from 1980 up to the present. All case reports were discussed with respect to diagnostic criteria proposed by International Headache Society (IHS) for CPH, by Goadsby and Lipton for HC and SUNCT, and evaluated to identify a possible causal relationship between the pathology and the onset of headache. The aim of the present review was to evaluate if the presence of associated lesions and their location could help elucidate the pathogenesis of trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs).

Abstract
Chronic orofacial pain is a common health complaint faced by health practitioners today and constitutes a challenging diagnostic problem that often requires a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment. The previous article by the same authors in this issue discussed the major clinical characteristics and the treatment of various musculoskeletal and neuropathic orofacial pain conditions. This second article presents aspects of vascular, neurovascular, and idiopathic orofacial pain, as well as orofacial pain due to various local, distant, or systemic diseases and psychogenic orofacial pain. The emphasis in this article is on the general differential diagnosis and various therapeutic regimens of each of these conditions. An accurate diagnosis is the key to successful treatment of chronic orofacial pain. Given that for many of the entities discussed in this article no curative treatment is available, current standards of management are emphasized. A comprehensive reference section has been included for those who wish to gain further information on a particular entity.

Abstract
The typical aura associated with migraine is characterized by visual or sensory and speech symptoms, with a mix of positive and negative features and complete reversibility within 1 hour. However, auras are not an exclusive migraine-dependent phenomenon. There have been descriptions of aura occurring in association with cluster headache, hemicrania continua, and even with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania. In addition, the occurrence of aura without headache or followed by a headache resembling the criteria of tension-type headache is encountered in clinical practice. This paper reviews the literature about auras in non-migraine headaches and the features involving this uncommon presentation. The possibility of a specific genetic origin for the auras, not related to the primary headache type, also is raised.

Abstract
We describe a man with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, who remained free of headaches on indomethacin, 25 mg once or twice daily. However, in this case, in contrast to typical cases of paroxysmal hemicrania, the pain of the headaches was nonlateralized and was located in the centre of the forehead. The headaches were not associated with local autonomic symptoms or signs involving the eyes or nose. Initially, the pain of the headaches lasted for seconds only and was brought on by coughing.

Abstract
Two cases of paroxysmal hemicrania (PH) associated with trigeminal neuralgia are reviewed. The paroxysmal hemicrania component in one patient was episodic, while it was chronic in the other. Each headache type responded completely to separate treatment, highlighting the importance of recognizing this association. We review the six other cases of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania-tic (CPH-tic) reported, and suggest that the term paroxysmal hemicrania-tic syndrome (PH-tic) be used to describe this association.

Abstract
The coexistence of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and trigeminal neuralgia is called chronic paroxysmal hemicrania-tic syndrome. We describe the case of a man who has suffered both types of pain occurring synchronously but with different localization on the ipsilateral side. The pain attacks could be abolished with indomethacin and carbamazepine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third case to be reported, the first in the male sex. We review this new disorder and discuss the pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe two cases of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania manifested by otalgia with a sensation of external acoustic meatus obstruction and to suggest that the trigeminal-autonomic reflex is a mechanism for the sensation of ear blockage. BACKGROUND Maximum pain in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is most often in the ocular, temporal, maxillary, and frontal regions. It is less often located in the nuchal, occipital, and retro-orbital areas. Review of the literature on chronic paroxysmal hemicrania found no reports of pain primarily localized to the ear and associated with a sensation of external acoustic meatus obstruction. METHODS The history, physical examination, imaging studies, and successful treatment plan in two patients with otalgia and ear fullness and a subsequent diagnosis of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania are summarized. RESULTS The first patient was a 42-year-old woman with a 10-year history of unilateral, severe, paroxysmal otalgia occurring five times a day with a duration of 2 to 60 minutes. During an attack, the ear became erythematous and the external acoustic meatus felt obstructed. There were no other associated autonomic signs. The second patient was a 49-year-old woman with a 3-year history of unilateral, severe, paroxysmal otalgia occurring 4 to 15 times a day with a duration of 3 to 10 minutes. During an attack, her ear felt obstructed, and she noted ipsilateral eyelid edema and ptosis. Both patients quickly became pain-free after taking indomethacin and required its continued use to prevent headache recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania may be manifested by otalgia with a sensation of external ear obstruction. When the otalgia is paroxysmal, unilateral, severe, frequent, and associated with autonomic signs, one should consider the diagnosis of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, especially because of the prompt response to indomethacin. The most important feature to consider when making the diagnosis of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is the frequent periodicity of discrete, brief attacks of unilateral cephalgia separated by pain-free intervals. It is hypothesized that the sensation of ear obstruction in these patients is due to swelling of the external acoustic meatus mediated through increased blood flow by the trigeminal-autonomic reflex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether a classifiable primary vascular-type craniofacial pain subgroup exists that predominantly affects intraoral structures. STUDY DESIGN Fifty-five patients were chosen prospectively according to the following inclusion criteria; periodic craniofacial pain that was unilateral, pulsatile, severe, and that may wake the patient from sleep. Accompanying phenomena could include local autonomic and/or systemic signs. Twenty-six cases could be further classified into one of the categories of vascular craniofacial pain. The remaining 29, all with predominantly intraoral pain, were not readily classifiable. RESULTS Of the 29 patients 70% were women, with an average onset-age of 42.6 years. All reported severe, episodic pain that was usually unilateral and lasted minutes to hours. In all, 55% of patients had autonomic or systemic signs, 48% had pulsatile pain, and 35.4% of patients were awakened by the pain. CONCLUSION Although clinical similarities were observed within these patients, further studies are needed to confirm vascular orofacial pain as a clear diagnostic category.

Abstract
The term "cluster vertigo" was originally used by Gilbert to describe episodes of vertigo in patients with Ménière's syndrome. Since these patients also had co-existing cluster headache, he suggested that both disorders could have had a common pathophysiology. There is no evidence in the literature for an increased incidence of Ménière's syndrome in cluster headache patients, so the argument that cluster headache and Ménière's syndrome may have a common pathogenesis cannot be supported. Subsequent authors have used the term "cluster vertigo" to denote a variant form of cluster headache and have confused the matter further. This was not the intention of the original author. The terminology is misleading and should not be used to describe a sub-type of cluster headache. A case of cluster headache with accompanying vertigo is described as a contrast to the patients described by Gilbert in whom headache and episodes of vertigo occurred independently.

Abstract
Three grown-up males with a long-lasting history of rather uniform, unilateral headache in the ocular-periocular area, in cluster fashion, are examined. Pain paroxysms of short duration (15-60 sec) appear up to 5-30 times per h. The headache is unilateral without side shift. Conjunctival injection appears at the very beginning of the attack and is partly massive, lasting the entire duration of the attack, and fading away at the end of it. Tearing (massive), forehead sweating (subclinical) and rhinorrhea, all on the symptomatic side, accompany the attack. In the youngest patient, the headache became chronic after clustering for six months initially, and after approximately 3 1/2 years it became bilateral. However, even in this patient, a clear unilateral pain preponderance prevails, and the autonomic disturbances are all on the original pain side. Attacks can partly be precipitated by chewing, eating (e.g. citrus fruits), moving the head, etc. The headache is completely refractory to drug therapy, including indomethacin.

Abstract
Upper limb pain occurred in close temporal association with attacks of migraine, cluster headache and cluster-migraine in 22 cases. Seven had also lower limb pain. Limb pain was usually ipsilateral to the headache but could alternate sides and behaved like other accepted migraine accompaniments. It was always ipsilateral to the associated paraesthesiae/numbness (9 cases) and weakness (6 cases). The distribution and restricted localisations of limb pain were similar to those of the sensory symptoms and could not be accounted for by primary dysfunction of the peripheral or autonomic nervous systems. A central origin for limb pain is postulated. A temporary dysfunction in the somatosensory cortex, and/or its thalamic connections, during migraine or cluster headache attacks, might mediate such pain in a number of patients.

Abstract
Local pharmacological manipulations of both pupils in persons with cluster headache (CH) have shown a reduced pain-side sympathetic activity. It is difficult to determine if this sympathetic defect is localized in the nuclei of the CNS and/or in peripheral neurons that innervate the pupil. This study demonstrates that in a CH group 2% tyramine (an intraneuronal norepinephrine releaser) instillation into both eyes induces an asymmetric and bilateral mydriasis with the onset of anisocoria characterized by a pupillary diameter being less on the pain-side eye. In addition, intravenous administration of 0.10 mg clonidine, an inhibitor of central sympathetic activity, causes a bilateral miotic response, which is more marked on the pain-side eye. In a healthy control group, clonidine induces a symmetric and bilateral miosis but less intense than that observed in both eyes of CH sufferers. In CH patients, pretreatment with clonidine augments the degree of anisocoria induced by tyramine instillation, increasing the mydriatic response only in the pain-free-side pupil. The hypothesis of a permanent sympathetic defect of the pain-side pupil expressing itself as a reduced sympathetic tone of CNS nuclei and peripheral neurons that innervate the pupil is proposed.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
One hundred and twenty seven patients with cluster headache have been compared with 122 patients with migraine. Twenty of the patients with cluster headache have had migraine attacks but only 2 still have migraine attacks after the onset of cluster headache. No migraine patients had cluster headache. Among the 127 patients with cluster headache, one of the parents suffered from cluster headache in 4.7% of the cases. Among the 122 patients with migraine, 0.8% had a parent with cluster headache. Among the 122 patients with migraine 54.9% had parents with migraine, and in the cluster headache group 23.6% of the patients had one parent with migraine. The coexistence of migraine and cluster headache is rare. The two types of headache, as far as the heredity pattern is concerned, are independent entities.

Abstract
The relationship between migraine and premature stroke and heart disease has been firmly established in the literature. The probable mechanism relates to release of vasoactive agents locally that produce intimal changes and if chronic may lead to permanent changes to the artery. We have attempted to identify individuals at risk for premature stroke utilizing the highly accurate B-mode real time carotid ultrasonogram. Sixteen patients demonstrated varying degrees of focal dilatation or plaque disease and 44% had abnormal Doppler flow studies. Since many of these patients were asymptomatic during the examination it is suggested that vascular changes may be more persistent than were previously suspected. These plaques, in the setting of increased platelet aggregability may be responsible for the augmented risk of stroke. Precise identification of these individuals can be easily accomplished with B-mode real time scanning (High resolution), and will allow for safe followup if specific dietary or drug interventions are contemplated.

Abstract
The impetus to study sleep changes in a cluster population arose from a recent hypothesis that predicted the finding of sleep apnea in this disorder. It holds that cluster attacks may occur in response to oxygen desaturation. Proposed mechanisms involve impairment of carotid body activity secondary to hypothalamic-vasomotor regulatory dysfunction. Five chronic and five episodic cluster patients underwent nocturnal polysomnography, utilizing standard equipment for monitoring sleep status, cardiac activity, nasal and buccal air flow change, chest and abdominal breathing, muscle activity and oxygen saturation. All episodic patients and one of five chronic patients were found to have sleep apnea (60%). Mean apneas per hour during NREM sleep were similar to that of REM sleep; 26.7 and 28.2, respectively. Six patients with sleep apnea experienced 14 cluster headache attacks during the study period. Eight attacks (57%) followed episodes of oxygen desaturation ranging from 65% to 85%. In the sleep apnea group, 8 out of 14 attacks (57%) were associated with REM; three without, and five following oxygen desaturation. Of the non-apnea group, all of whom had chronic cluster headache, none of 5 attacks were associated with oxygen desaturation, and only 2/5 attacks occurred in relation to REM. Thus, our study showed that sleep apnea was a common finding in a randomly selected group of episodic cluster patients; and most nocturnal attacks were preceded by oxyhemoglobin desaturation and REM-related. These findings were uncommon in the chronic cluster group.

Abstract
Cluster headache and trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) share a common pattern of exacerbation and remission of pain that is described in similar terms by patients. Although the treatment of these conditions is markedly different, the results of adequate prophylaxis can be extremely impressive in both. The physician who treats headache patients should be aware of the common characteristics of each condition and of the possibility of their concomitant occurrence.

Abstract
The syndrome of cluster headache variant is characterized by the occurrence of three combined symptoms: atypical cluster headaches, multiple jabs, and background vascular headaches. Atypical cluster headaches are localized headaches that occur several times daily, usually without any headache-free periods. They differ from the typical chronic cluster headache in their location, duration, frequent shifting, and frequency. Multiple jabs are short-lasting, sharp pains of variable severity and location. Background vascular headache is a chronic, continuous often unilateral headache of variable severity that throbs at rest or begins to throb during exertion. We have studied 54 patients between the ages of 14 and 78 years (average age, 40.5 years). Forty-five (83%) patients responded to indomethacin. Complete control was achieved in 50% of the patients. The nine patients who did not respond to indomethacin were depressed. These nine patients responded well to tricyclic antidepressants.

Abstract
The diagnosis of the cause of facial pain can be made clinically in the great majority of cases, if the physician is aware of the gamut of manifestations of the various disorders which may produce the symptom. Therapeutic tests are sometimes helpful in diagnosis, but extensive ancillary investigation often is unnecessary. The management of facial pain is one area of medicine in which the knowledgeable clinician can more than hold his own with the contemporary proliferation of specialized investigational tools.
