title: Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania in a child.
abstract: Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) is a relatively new condition first described in 1973. Since its first description, over 80 cases have been reported worldwide. Very few cases have been reported in children. We report the presentation of an 8-year-old boy to illustrate the problems in diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease in childhood.
