“…Multiple case reports of children with PH add support to the use of indomethacin in treating this disorder, with every patient reported to have a positive outcome with the use of indomethacin [9,[20][21][22][23]. Additionally, one case report showed a successful treatment with low-dose aspirin resulting in remission in a 9-year-old who suffered from chronic PH [24]. The effectiveness of treating with indomethacin along with the typical shorter duration of each individual attack allows PH to be differentiated from cluster headaches [15•].…”

Headaches represent one of the most common reasons why children and adolescents seek medical attention and are the primary reason that they are referred to pediatric neurology practices. The most common headache syndromes diagnosed are migraine, tension-type, and chronic daily headache, and the bulk of recent medical literature regarding headache in children has focused on these clinical entities. Children are prone to have unusual headache syndromes, most of which fall under the category of "primary headache," most notably as manifestations of migraine with aura. Included within this group are basilar-type and hemiplegic migraine. The most intriguing subset included in the International Headache Society's classification system is the so-called "periodic syndromes of childhood that are precursors to migraine." These syndromes, quite peculiar to children, present a wide variety of episodic symptoms, including movement disorders, vomiting, ataxia, and vertigo, and may not include headache at all. This article provides an overview of some of the more unusual headache syndromes in children and adolescents.

Headache is one of the most common symptoms in children and adolescents, and headache syndromes are an important reason for medical consulting. According to the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, there are 196 possible headache diagnoses, of which 113 have been described in pediatric population. Herein, we focus on unusual pediatric headache syndromes. We group them as headaches with migraine features, short-duration headaches with autonomic features, short-duration headaches without autonomic features, and potentially ominous forms of headaches. Although rare as single entities, providers focusing on pediatric headaches certainly will face some of these headaches and need to be comfortable on the diagnostic approach.

“…Acetylsalicylic acid has been shown to be efficacious during the early phases of CPH in some patients [46••] and possibly during the childhood phase of the disorder [65]. Partial success has also been reported with verapamil [46••, [106][107][108], steroids [108], and naproxen [46••].…”

Effective management of ice pick pains, SUNCT, and episodic and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania

Idiopathic stabbing headaches, the SUNCT syndrome, and the paroxysmal hemicranias are a group of primary headache disorders that are characterized by brief, short-lived attacks of head pain, which recur multiple times throughout the day. These syndromes are much less prevalent than other types of primary headaches such as migraine and tension-type headaches but are significantly more disabling. Recognition of these uncommon disorders is important because their management differs from standard headache therapies.
