Cluster-like headache and a median intracranial calcified lesion: case report

Headache. 1991 Nov;31(10):684-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1526-4610.1991.hed3110684.x.

Abstract

A 69 year old man complaining of a cluster-like headache is reported. CT scan showed a median intracranial calcified lesion. Two main considerations are: 1) the importance of searching for an underlying structural lesion in patients with an "atypical" cluster headache; 2) the possible significance of a lesion localized close to the midline structures in the pathogenesis of cluster headache.
