Title:	Images From Headache: Atypical Cluster Headache Secondary to Giant Meningioma.
Authors:	Robbins, Matthew S., Tarshish, Sara, Napchan, Uri, Grosberg, Brian M.
Source:	Headache: The Journal of Head & Face Pain. Jul/Aug2009, Vol. 49 Issue 7, p1052-1053. 2p. 1 Black and White Photograph.
Subjects:	Case studies, Headache, Brain diseases, Cluster headache, Phobias, Magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract:	The article describes the case of a 37-year-old man with a history of side-locked headache attacks that are associated with ipsilateral lacrimation, conjunctival injection and bilateral photophobia and phonophobia. Based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient's brain has a large mass arising from the left planum sphenoidale that exerts mass effect on the adjacent frontal love, optic tract and cavernous sinus. The authors suggested a diagnosis of secondary headache in patients with specific symptoms.
