Hyper insulinemia in an hemicrania continua patient with sexual headache: Hypothesizing the basis for this unusual association.
The coexistence of hemicrania continua with another primary headache disorder is a very rare event. We report a male patient with both hemicrania continua of 16- year duration and pre-orgasmic headache of three-year duration. Both headache disorders responded to indomethacin. The patient had also in addition persistent elevation of fasting serum insulin.
