Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania-tic syndrome.
The association of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and ticlike pain-chronic paroxysmal hemicrania-tic (CPH-tic)-is a recently described syndrome. The authors found only two previously reported cases. They report three new cases of this rare syndrome with both chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and ticlike pain concurrently and ipsilaterally. The trigeminal-autonomic cephalalgias (TAC) are considered as differential diagnoses. CPH-tic syndrome could be a different clinical entity.
