Abstract

Cluster headache (CH) is characterized by attacks of strictly unilateral severe pain with orbital, supraorbital, or temporal location. They are accompanied by ipsilateral cranial autonomic features. A 45-year-old man presented with a 1-year complaint of right-sided headache. He described episodes of excruciating burning pain in right parietal region. His neurologic examination was normal except 20% muscle loss on the right arm. We report a atypically located cluster headache associated with right arm weakness.
