Abstract: Hemicrania continua (HC) is a headache entity completely responsive to indomethacin. Since 1984, 18 cases have been described, 15 females and 3 males, i.e. a F:M ratio of 5.0. The finding of a female preponderance, like that in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, is a new observation. HC is, in general, a unilateral headache in the sense that it sets in on one side and subsequently sticks to this side. In two cases, both sides might possibly be involved, when the pain was at its maximum. In another (somewhat dubiou… Show more

“…In spite of a protracted total duration, mean 12.5 years (case 5 is an exception) (Table 3), there were no signs of chronicity of the pain. In a series of HC, the continuous stage:remitting stage ratio in the late phase of HC was 16:2 (approximately 9.5 years after onset) [27], as against 0:8 in the present series. This argument has more than just limited weight.…”

“…This picture by far exceeds the borders of HC [5,27] in its recurrent form. Pain distribution, lack of appropriate precipitation mechanisms, and jabs and allodynia outside the cranial nerve IX area all count against glossopharyngeal neuralgia.…”

“…Além disso, observava-se uma tendência a uma dor mais tolerável, menos fenômenos autonômicos acompanhando a dor e ausência de mecanismos precipitantes da dor, como pode acontecer com a HPC 4 . Essa nova entidade foi denominada Hemicrania Contínua (HC) e até o período da última revisão de literatura (1991) 5 18 casos haviam sido identificados no mundo, inclusive sendo um caso no Brasil 6 . Por vezes, uma forma remitente de HC se instalava para se seguir da forma contínua 7 , em outros casos a dor se instalava já na forma contínua.…”

“…A resposta à indometacina também era tão característica que se tornava indispensável ao diagnóstico. Outros antiinflamatórios não hormonais falham em resolver a dor, embora em poucos casos tenha sido relatado um benefício parcial com o uso de naproxeno 5 .…”
