Copyright © 1981 American Headache Society (formerly the American Association for the Study of Headache) ABSTRACTSYNOPSIS Cluster headache is a type of essential headache affecting young or middle-age patients, whereas it is highly rare in children. The case we are reporting here concerns a child who since the very first days after his birth appeared to suffer from severe attacks of agitation and sudden fits of weeping twice a day on average. When 21 months old, while in the hospital, he was found during the fits of weeping to complain of severe pain in the forehead, right temple and around the right eye. The examination carried out on him revealed no lesions of any type. The characteristics of 213 attacks were recorded up to the age of 27 months, when the crises disappeared spontaneously. The nature, duration and location of pain and the associated phenomena, as well as their regular occurrence every day make this type of headache affecting this patient fall within the category of cluster headache. The possibility of this type of headache appearing at such an early age seems to bear out the hypothesis that it may derive from a congenital biochemical disorder.
