title: [Hemicrania continua].
abstract: Hemicrania continua is a very rare headache and, as its name implies, is characterised by a continuous, unilateral headache of moderate severity. In most patients, attacks of more intense pain are superimposed. These last from minutes to several days and are sometimes associated with autonomic features. In this review, we shall try to clarify the clinical and pathophysiological features, the nosology, the differential diagnosis and the treatment of this entity.
