An early 18th-century case description of cluster headache.
We present a previously unreported early 18th-century description of cluster headache by the English antiquary Abraham de la Pryme (1671-1704) initially attributed to hydrophobia (rabies). We will also give a short overview of other descriptions of cluster and cluster-like headache in historical literature.
