Folllowing added to the "Cluster-LIKE headache" in "important messages" above.
======= Acta Neurol Scand. 2010 Apr 8. Secondary chronic cluster headache due to trigeminal nerve root compression. Mjåset C, Bjørn Russell M. Head and Neck Research Group, Research Centre, Akershus University Hospital, Lørenskog, Norway. Abstract Mjåset C, Bjørn Russell M. Secondary chronic cluster headache due to trigeminal nerve root compression. Acta Neurol Scand: DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0404.2010.01322.x. (c) 2010 The Authors Journal compilation (c) 2010 Blackwell Munksgaard. A 50-year-old woman had a gradual onset of chronic headache located in the right temporal region and a burning sensation in the root of the tongue which over a year evolved into chronic cluster headache with a milder chronic headache in-between the severe cluster headache attacks. A cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root on the pain side. Neurosurgery microvascular decompression relieved the patient?s chronic cluster headache, the chronic intermittent headache and the burning tongue sensation. The effect was persistent at a 1 year follow-up. PATIENTS WITH ATYPICAL SYMPTOMS OF CLUSTER HEADACHE SHOULD BE EXAMINED WITH CEREBRAL MRI ANGIOGRAPHY OF ARTERIES AND VEINS TO EXCLUDE SYMPTOMATIC CAUSES. PMID: 20384588 [PubMed] |

This worries me - my husband has started to have a constant headache that hasn't gone away for a few days now, on top of the clusters..the doctor brushed it off and a MRI was never really considered.. |
