Coexistence of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and benign cough headache.

We report on the coexistence of both chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and cough headache in a middle-aged woman. Typical chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and cough headache episodes appeared independently and responded to indomethacin. The possible pathophysiological significance of this concurrence of both types of indomethacin-responsive pain is discussed.
