Cluster headache associated with parainfluenza virus, preceded and succeeded by migraine.

Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Conn., USA.
A serologically proven case of parainfluenza viral infection was associated with the onset and disappearance of cluster headache. The patient had long-standing migraine that ceased during the cluster headache period and recurred when the latter stopped. Possibly, the virus was neurally transmitted to the trigeminal-autonomic system, creating an inflammatory response that transiently precipitated cluster headache and obliterated migraine.
