hemicrania

The constant presence of the headache, and for weeks at a time, immediately brought to Lesser’s mind a rare condition called hemicrania continua.

The doctor mentions several possible diagnoses: new daily persistent headache, migraine with aura, and hemicrania continua, a headache on one side of the head that never ends.

More commonly it is frontal or general; occasionally we found it occipital, and still more rarely it was unilateral, constituting hemicrania.

If this was hemicrania continua, she would get better with this medication.

An instance of the first of those is the sympathy between the membranes of the alveolar processes of the jaws, and the membranes above or beneath the muscles about the temples in hemicrania.
