Pseudo-cluster-like headache secondary to contralateral epidermoid cyst of the pontocerebellar angle.
Cluster-like headaches have been described as secondary to several intracranial lesions. We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with a throbbing periocular pain associated with lacrimation and red eye. A contralateral epidermoid cyst was detected in the magnetic resonance imaging.
