title: Hemicrania continua with aura.
abstract: Hemicrania continua is a primary headache disorder that is characterized by a continuous unilateral headache of moderate severity, exacerbations of severe pain and complete responsiveness to indomethacin. We report four patients with a unique variant of hemicrania continua: visual auras that precede or accompany the pain exacerbations.
