RÉSUMÉ
In the neuroimaging workup of a suspected ischemic stroke, the involvement of more than one arterial territory without an anatomical substrate should raise the suspicion of a stroke mimic. We report the case of a 61-year-old male with a new-onset headache and transient phasic disturbances who presented a pattern of vascular abnormalities characterized by left-hemispheric leptomeningeal vessel paucity and hypoperfusion.
RÉSUMÉ
This report describes a 5-year-old male with sudden unilateral headache attacks (2-50 seconds) accompanied by conjunctival injection, lacrimation, and nasal congestion. The episodes occurred without a precipitating factor, never during sleep. Brain imaging was normal. The attacks resolved spontaneously within 5 months. This headache syndrome (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) was previously described in two other children aged 10 and 11.
