[Atypical symptomatic headache in the developmental period--case report].
The authors report a case of atypical symptomatic headache in developmental age. It is a complex headache in which three etiologic factors are permeated and superposed. The basic mechanism is connected with the presence of vascular congenital malformation (a. trigemini primitiva persistens), second mechanism is associated with immunologic events (leucopenia-dyshematopoiesis) in which central nervous system is secondarily involved with headaches partly superposed and personality features mildly neurotic, which would represent the third etiologic factor. Since it is the case of symptomatic headache as a notorius clinical entity but with peculiar, puzzling, atypical clinical features and course, the authors point to the complexity of this type of headache, diagnostic speculations and difficulties encountered in therapeutical approaches.
