title: [Atypical cases of acute headaches of cerebrovascular origin].
abstract: Acute headaches can be an important signal of a cerebrovascular event. In some cases, as illustrated in this article, such headaches may have the same characteristics as migraine or be the main feature of unusual types of cerebrovascular disease. Headache should not be underestimated since misdiagnosis of cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious consequences.
