title: Hemicrania continua: a case report.
abstract: The first case of Hemicrania continua in Greece is reported; a female of 47 years with a 17-year history of right-sided headache. For the last year, she had a moderate pain on the left side (amounting to 10-15% of the right-sided one and occurring only occasionally, i.e. when the right-sided pain was severe). After 17 years the pain still had a remitting course with pain periods of around three weeks interrupted by pain-free periods of approximately ten days. The indomethacin effect is complete.
