Abstract Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has only recently emerged as a potential target in posttraumatic headache. To our knowledge this is the first description of a patient with persistent posttraumatic headache following severe traumatic head injury who has been treated with the CGRP-receptor-monoclonal antibody erenumab.Case presentation: A 56-year-old man presented with a 30-year history of frequent migraine-like posttraumatic headaches following a high-voltage head injury that he treated with an excessive intake of peripheral analgesics. Although amitriptyline was reasonably effective, it had to be discontinued when the patient developed restless legs syndrome in the second year of treatment. Under therapy with erenumab he achieved a rapid and stable reduction in his symptoms down to only 2–3 headache days per month without adverse events.Conclusions: This case demonstrates that the inhibition of the CGRP-receptor with erenumab could be an effective treatment option in migraine-like post-traumatic headache even decades after the traumatic event.

Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome is a rare headache syndrome classified among the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. It is usually idiopathic, although infrequent secondary forms have been described. Recently the term short-lasting unilateral headache with cranial autonomic symptoms (SUNA) has been defined by the International Headache Society (ICHD-2) as similar to SUNCT with less prominent or absent conjunctival injection and lacrimation. We report two patients with paroxysmal orbito-fronto-temporal pains, phenotypically suggesting SUNA, occurring after traumatic head injury.

Early Diagnose

BACKGROUND Post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) can occur as an outcome of moderate and severe traumatic head injury. It is one of the causes of delayed worsening of the early symptoms of head injury. A total of 18 cases of PTH diagnosed and treated at tertiary care hospitals from 2012 to 2015 were studied. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinicoradiological profile of patients diagnosed with posttraumatic hydrocephalus and determine the outcome of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting in cases of post-traumatic hydrocephalus. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery in a teaching medical college. The clinicoradiological profile of patients diagnosed with PTH was studied. These cases were treated conservatively as well as by surgery. The demography, cause of trauma, GCS score and response rates were studied. RESULTS Among the 18 reviewed patients, 61.1 % were males, fall and RTA constituted the major cause of trauma. Craniotomy was done in 50 % of the patients, 88.89 % of the patients recovered and the mortality rate was 11.11 %. CONCLUSIONS Post-traumatic hydrocephalus is a consequence of traumatic head injury and can occur with various neurological symptoms after the initial trauma. CT scan of the brain is considered the choice of investigation to early diagnose PTH and the patient outcome after VP shunting is good. KEY WORDS Hydrocephalus, Head Injury, Trauma
