Abstract

Paroxysmal hemicrania (PH) is rare in children and not widely recognized. It is characterized by pain attacks and associated symptoms and signs similar to those experiencing cluster headaches, but the features have a shorter effect, are more frequent, and respond completely to indomethacin. Some patients with PH may experience slight pain across the midline. There are only four cases of bilateral PH in the literature and it is very rare in children. Here, I report the case of a 10-year-old female with bilateral PH diagnosed by the typical symptoms along with the favorable response to indomethacin therapy.

돌발 반두통은 일측성이고 짧은 시간동안 심한 통증이 있는 경우이며, 대부분 두개의 자율신경계 증상을 동반한다. 이는 군발 두통의 통증, 동반 증상과 징후와 비슷하지만, 돌발 반두통은 지속시간이 더 짧고, 더 빈번하며, 인도메싸신에 잘 반응한다. 1992년에 Sjaastad에 의해 돌발 반두통이 반대쪽으로도 이동한다고 처음 보고하였으며, 문헌에는 단지 4례가 보고되었다. 4례 중 3례는 자율신경계 증상을 동반하지 않았으며, 1례만 자율신경계 증상 동반을 하였다. 저자는 10세 소아에서 자율신경계 증상을 동반한 전형적인 증상과 인도메싸신으로 치료된 양측 돌발 반두통 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
