Anamnesis

A 38-year-old chef reports two such episodes in the past four months, both during particularly busy dinner services. He explains that once the pain in his head takes hold, he finds himself gripping and pulling at his hair above his ears, an action which brings on a clear pulling sensation across his scalp only after the headache has already started, never beforehand. There has been no nausea, vomiting or visual change with either episode, and no facial weakness.

Report this case — e.g. suspected re-identification risk.
