Ischaemic stroke with headache as its only manifestation
Wael Radwan, Abdallah El-Sabbagh, Samir Atweh, Raja Sawaya

Abstract


We present two cases of middle-aged men with chronic hypertension presenting with acute severe hemicranial headache with otherwise a normal neurological examination. Investigation revealed occlusion of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery. We reviewed the literature of ischaemic strokes with headache as the only manifestation and elaborated on the pathophysiology of headaches in ischaemic strokes.
