Cluster Headache in 2.5 year old

Cluster Headache in 2year old

This is amazing!

Whilst I have treated a 3 year-old girl with ‘migraine’ (i.e.one-sided headache with nausea and vomiting) I have never come across this before.

The authors describe that it was difficult to make a diagnosis in such a young patient (given that in adults it is fraught with difficulty!) due to the lack of patient’s inability to describe symptoms well. However it appears that it was the associated symptoms (redness of the eye, tearing of the eye, swelling of the eyelid and itching of the nostril) which enabled a clear diagnosis of cluster headache to be made.

Cheers

Dean
