“…It may even be that this non-continuous pre-stage is as important as or even more important than the chronic stage. The non-continuous stage may even be persistent, as in an undefined proportion of CPH cases (14).…”

“…The longer we search within the older literature the clearer it becomes that cluster headache and related syndromes had been noticed much earlier. A case of Sjaastad and Dale's chronic paroxysmal hemicrania was detected in a Latin doctoral thesis from Halle (Oppermann (5), quoted in Isler (6), 1987 (4), and criticized by Sjaastad (7)). Incomplete accounts of cluster headache were found in Willis (8) by Isler (4).…”

The first description of cluster headache is usually attributed to authors who published between 1867 and 1939, but lately several researchers have found accounts dating back to the 18th or even the 17th century which are incomplete or do not account for cluster headache in the strict sense. However, Gerhard van Swieten gave a full description of a case of episodic cluster headache meeting the IHS criteria in 1745, in his textbook of clinical medicine, the mainstream textbook of Continental medicine in those years, since van Swieten was the founder of the then leading medical centre, the Vienna School. That the case was found again only in 1992 is due to the circumstance that it was published in Latin. It is presented here in an English translation facing the original Latin text.

“…And they should be given a "super"-heading, combining them. For this reason, the term "cluster headache syndrome" was introduced (7,11; see also A decade ago, our group described an unusual case of a cluster headache-like headache (12). We introduced the term "atypical cluster headache" in that context, because of the unusual features of this patient (13).…”

“…The similarity of the temporal pattern of even the chronic stage of CPH with that of cluster headache is considerable. Moreover, there is a pre-chronic or non-continuous stage in several CPH cases (4,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10), and this stage may be like a blueprint copy of the temporal pattern of cluster headache. Moreover, many (all?)…”

“…Occasionally, there are short-lasting bouts in patients with otherwise typical bout lengths. In the occasional case, seemingly belonging to cluster headache proper, there are only short-lasting bouts, so-called mini-bouts, which have been defined as series of attacks lasting 3-6 days (7). This definition will probably be up for revision when more information has been acquired; it is thus fully possible that this definition should be extended downwards to 2 days (or even 1 day; but if this is accepted, we foresee considerable difficulties (see later)).…”
