Objective To determine the natural course of cluster headache. Methods We screened patients with cluster headache who were diagnosed at Samsung Medical Center and lost to follow-up for ≥5 years. Eligible patients were interviewed by phone about the longitudinal changes in headache characteristics and disease course. Remission was defined as symptom-free 1) for longer than twice the longest between-bout period and 2) for ≥5 years. Results Forty-two patients lost to follow-up for mean 7.5 (range, 5.0–15.7) years were included. The length of the last bout did not differ from the first one, while the last between-bout period was longer than the first one ( p = 0.012). Characteristics of cluster headache decreased over time: Side-locked unilaterality (from 92.9% to 78.9%), seasonal and circadian rhythmicity (from 63.9% to 60.9% and from 62.2 to 40.5%, respectively), and autonomic symptoms (from 95.2% to 75.0%). Remission occurred in 14 (33.3%) patients at a mean age of 42.3 (range, 27–65) years, which was not different from the age of last bouts in active patients ( p = 0.623). There was a trend for more seasonal and circadian predilection at baseline in the active group ( p = 0.056 and 0.063, respectively) and fewer lifetime bouts and shorter disease duration in patients in remission ( p = 0.063 and 0.090). Conclusions This study first shows the natural courses of cluster headache. Features of cluster headache become less prominent over time. Remission occurred regardless of age. Although no single predictor of remission was found, our data suggest that remission of cluster headache might not be a consequence of more advanced age, longer duration of disease, or accumulation of lifetime bouts.

SummaryObjective.Although somatoform disorders are assumed to be chronic clinical conditions, epidemiological knowledge on their natural course based on representative samples is not available.Method.Data come from a prospective epidemiologic study of adolescents and young adults in Munich, Germany. Respondents’ diagnoses (N = 2548) at baseline and follow-up on average 42 months later are considered. The follow-up incidence, stability as well as selected baseline risk factors (sociodemographics, psychopathology, trauma exposure) for the incidence and stability of somatoform disorders and syndromes are prospectively examined. Diagnostic information was assessed by using the standardized Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (M-CIDI).Results.Over the follow-up period, incidence rate for any of the covered somatoform diagnoses was 25.7%. Stability for the overall group of any somatoform disorder/syndrome was 48%. Female gender, lower social class, the experience of any substance use, anxiety and affective disorder as well as the experience of traumatic sexual and physical threat events predicted new onsets of somatoform conditions, while stability was predicted by being female, prior existing substance use, affective and eating disorders as well as the experience of a serious accident.Conclusions.At least for a substantial proportion of individuals, the overall picture of somatization seems to be relatively stable, but with fluctuation in the symptom picture over time. Being female, the experience of substance use as well as anxiety disorder seem to constitute risk factors for the onset of new somatoform conditions as well as for a stable course over time.

Abstract OBJECTIVE The natural course of incidentally discovered small intracranial lesions has not been well discussed. Surgical intervention, including resection and biopsy, could be achieved if the lesion is growing. We present 13 cases with incidentally found, small non-enhancing lesions without related symptoms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a series of 13 children with T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense intracranial lesions less than 20 mm in diameter without enhancement. We excluded the patients with NF-1 or Tuberous sclerosis. RESULTS Most patients underwent MRI for headache unrelated to the lesions. All cases were located supratentorially. The median age of the patients at the initial examination was 8.9 years (range, 2.2–14.6). Of these children, 2 patients (15.3%) underwent surgery because of progression on follow-up MR images. The pathological diagnosis was compatible with diffuse astrocytoma. Patients were followed for a median of 55 months (range, 11–87) and the overall survival rate was 100%. No patient experienced increase in size after 3 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In most patients with small intracranial lesions, the lesions remained stable and conservative management was appropriate. However, in a few cases, the lesions changed in size or quality and surgical intervention was necessary. Long-term follow-up at least 3 years is mandatory.

Fibrinolytic Agents

Deep venous thrombosis of the upper limbs is rare and represents less than 2-3% of all cases of deep venous thrombosis. Reviewing our series of 25 patients we decided that follow-up and symptomatic treatment produce acceptable results, since the disease has a benign natural history. Fibrinolytic agents administered under strict limitations (The Consensus Conference 1980, Ann Int Med) are efficient in early cases, but its ability to change the natural course of the disease has not been proved. Surgical approach should be reserved for cases with secondary ischaemia and/or a resectable extraluminal mass.
