Abstract:

Guillem A, Barriga FJ & Giménez-Roldán S. Nummular headache secondary to an intracranial mass lesion. Cephalalgia 2007; 27:943-944. London. ISSN 0333-1024

We describe a patient complaining of circumscribed pain in the head as the only symptom of a subtentorial meningioma. This observation underlines the need to revise the concept of circumscribed, referred pains in the head arising from pain-sensitive intracranial structures.
