Abstract
LUCAS PEREZ-ROMERO, Javier; HERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ, Francisco; LUCAS PEREZ-ROMERO, Marta and GONZALEZ RAMIREZ, M.ª Belén. Pulsatile headache. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.1, pp.66-70. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2015000100009.
We report the case of a 16-year-old female teenager, previously asymptomatic and without a medical record of migraine-like headaches, who progressively developed a pulsating holocraneal headache, which did not improve with high doses of painkillers. Given the persistence of the clinical picture and the alarm criteria, the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (RMN) was fundamental for achieving an accurate diagnosis.
