Abstract
Cluster headache is characterized by disabling stereotyped headache. Early diagnosis allows appropriate treatment, unfortunately diagnostic errors are frequent. The main differential diagnoses are other primary or essential headaches. Migraine, more frequent and whose diagnosis is carried by excess, trigeminal neuralgia or other trigemino-autonomic cephalgia. Vascular or tumoral underlying condition can mimic cluster headache, neck and brain imaging is recommended, ideally MRI.GlossaireAVFalgie vasculaire de la faceMSAmigraine sans auraMAAmigraine avec auraCTAcéphalée trigémino-autonomiqueSUNCTshort unilateral neuralgiform cephalalgia with tearingSUNAshort lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with cranial autonomic features
