Stabbing headache may occur as a primary headache disorder, may accompany other primary headaches, or, in rare instances, may be associated with secondary headache syndromes. We report two patients with intracranial meningioma in whom stabbing headache was the heralding symptom. Headache remitted
Headaches and facial pain can be extremely difficult to manage for the patient and the clinician. In the medical literature, it has been suggested that the autonomic reflex plays an important role in the pathophysiology of facial neuralgia. The sphenopalatine ganglion is the largest parasympathetic
Cluster headache is almost always idiopathic, but, in rare cases, associated intracranial lesions have been found. We describe a patient who had chronic cluster headache for more than 20 years. The headache immediately resolved upon resection of a tentorial meningioma. Prior reports of cluster
Background Meningiomas are generally slowly growing intracranial tumors. They are often incidentally diagnosed, given that symptoms may be absent even in cases of an enormous tumor size. Headache is a frequent but not consistent symptom. Therefore, we examined the association between structural,
A 68-year-old man with chronic lung disease suffered from cluster headache (CH)-like pain associated with an upper cervical meningioma extending to compress the lower brain stem. The pain disappeared after tumour excision. We suggest that compression of the brain stem and hypoxemia associated with
Paroxysmal hemicrania is a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia first described in 1976, characterized by episodic attacks of excruciating unilateral periorbital and temporal stabbing, pulsatile, craw-like, or boring headaches lasting 2 - 30 minutes, accompanied by autonomic features, and alleviated by
A medical history of a 46-year-old male is reported. At 23 years of age, he started having diffuse pain in the left side of his head for up to 30 min once or twice a month. At 28, the pain changed into left-sided cluster headache-like attacks with 2-3 h duration and with ipsilateral conjunctival

Meningiomas originate from meningothelial cells of the arachnoid membrane. Few cases of meningioma with infiltration of inflammatory cells, such as lymphocytes and plasma cells, have been reported, and the mechanisms underlying meningioma-induced inflammatory reactions have not been fully
Cluster headache is generally considered to be a primary headache; secondary cluster-like headache is quite rare, while cluster-like headache secondary to meningioma is even rarer. Here, we describe an unusual case with cluster-like headache 2.5 years after sphenoid ridge meningioma surgery. The
We included 58 patients with meningioma in a prospective study to analyse the prevalence of and risk factors for different types of meningioma-associated headache. Twenty-three patients (40%) had meningioma-associated headache. Of these, the pain was migraine-like in five (22%) and tension-type
