“…Traumatic brain injury has been associated with the occurrence of cluster headache, 17 with an incidence of previous head trauma among cluster headache patients ranging between 5% and 37% of the patients. Other specific traumatic events or procedures, such as enucleation of either eye 18 or dental extraction, 19 have also been reported.…”

“…On the other hand, Shoji 18) stated that the orbital pain may refer to maxillary or mandibular areas, and the teeth in those areas and it is not uncommon for patients with cluster headache to consult a dentist, and to be initially misdiagnosed and receive unnecessary treatment. Furthermore, he didn't agree with the possibility of development of the secondary cluster headache following dental treatment, proposed by Sörös et al 17) At present, while there is considerable clinical evidence for an association between brain or head lesions and the development of cluster headache, 11,20) the crucial question how a head injury or a structural brain disease could contribute to the development of cluster headache is still undetermined. In addition, it is also unclear whether cluster headache-like facial pain may result from dental extraction or both events are just coincidental.…”

A 50-year-old female patient with severe unilateral pain in the right eye, head, and face accompanied by lacrimation and drooping of the right eye and rhinorrhea from the right nose, which developed immediately after extraction of the maxillary right first and second molars, was successfully treated with oral administration of sumatriptan and prednisolone, or verapamile. Although the clinical characteristics are similar to those reported in cluster headache except the temporal feature, the probable cluster headache, the hemicrania continua and the acute migraine headache should be included in the list of differential diagnoses. In this report, we present a patient who developed cluster headache-like facial pain after the extraction of ipsilateral molars, which was responsive to combination therapy of sumatriptan and prednisolone, or verapamile. CASE REPORTA 50-year-old female patient was sent from a local dental clinic to the Department of Oral Medicine, Kyungpook National University Hospital. The patient has had severe excruciating pain in the right eye and the right ear and severe pricking, stabbing, or aching pain in the right side of the face, the head, and the neck. The pain was quite continuous, not remitting all through the day, so the patient appeared anxious, restless, and agitated during initial examination. She also complained that the pain was accompanied by lacrimation and drooping eyelid of the right eye,
