Case Reports
[Episodic ++paroxysmal hemicrania or chronic paroxysmal hemicrania in pre-chronic state?].
Two women suffered from strictly unilateral, periocular headaches for many years. The clinical characteristics of headaches were those described in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania. However, both patients showed an episodic evolution of pain. ⋯ The patient has been free of pain without treatment for the last three years. This second observation can be considered as an example of episodic paroxysmal hemicrania. In the episodic cases the response of pain to indomethacin can be difficult to be ascertained.
