[Cluster headache with a familial presentation].
Four out of 190 patients suffering from cluster headache (CH) were of familial presentation. In three families the affected relative was either the brother or the father of the proband. In the other family the disorder affected the father, two brothers, and perhaps the grand mother of the patient. The prevalence of the disease seems to be higher among relatives of CH patients compared to general population. It is unclear whether this familial aggregation depends up on genetic factors.
