Cluster headache, ice pick headache, cough and effort headaches, and headaches related to sexual activity are unusual forms of headaches which are not treated elsewhere in this Revue du Praticien. They are briefly described.

We report the case of a man who suffered from Valsalva-induced cluster headaches. The headaches deviated from classic cluster in that they were solely induced by activity involving the Valsalva maneuver, such as coughing and sneezing, and never occurred spontaneously. The attacks were prevented by treatment with indomethacin. This may be the first reported case of cluster that only occurs after a defined trigger and never spontaneously. It also may be the first cluster headache subtype that is indomethacin responsive.

Chronic cough is defined as persistence of the symptom for longer than one month. It is a common reason for consultation. A systematic diagnostic approach based on the history, clinical examination and a number of investigations (chest x-ray, lung function tests, oesophageal pH monitoring and sinus x-rays) reveals the cause in most cases. The main aetiologies are post-nasal drip, gastro-oesophageal reflex, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. Nevertheless, in some cases, the cause is not found. In this situation it is necessary to search for less common pathologies where cough is just a symptom of systemic disease, such as connective tissue disorder (Sjogren's syndrome, atrophic polychondritis), vasculitis (Wegener's granulomatosis), Horton's syndrome (cluster headaches), amyloidosis and inflammatory bowel disease. It may also be a matter of local pathology of the tracheo-bronchial tree, such as tracheo-bronchomegaly, tracheopathia osteoplastica, rare or unrecognized infections (whooping cough, post-viral cough, bronchial tuberculosis), reactive bronchial dysfunction, eosinophilic bronchitis or radiologically occult bronchial carcinoma. Il is also necessary to consider vocal cord dysfunction and cough due to medication before accepting a diagnosis of psychogenic cough.

Respiratory manifestations in Horton's disease are uncommon. We report the case of 63 year-old man with Horton disease diagnosed 2 months before, who was hospitalised for fever, deterioration in general health, cough and hemoptysis. Chest X-ray showed an infiltrate in the right upper lobe and bilateral cystic opacities predominant on basal suggesting bronchectasis who was confirmed secondary in CT-scan. Even though cortico sensible clinical manifestations and radiologic infiltrate were previously described in Horton's disease, association with bronchectasis was never been reported in literature and her etio pathogenic mechanism must be clarified.

The Treatment Guideline Subcommittee of the Taiwan Headache Society evaluated the indication of neuroimaging for nonacute headache according to the principles of evidence-based medicine. We have assessed the qualities of studies, levels of evidence, and referred to other guidelines proposed by Western countries. After several panel discussions, we merged opinions from the subcommittee members and proposed a Taiwan consensus. Neuroimaging is not necessary for patients with nonacute and recurrent migraine or tension-type headache when there is no recent change of headache characteristics and neurological examinations are normal. Neuroimaging is suggested for patients who have headaches with abnormal neurological examinations. For patients who are diagnosed as having cluster headache and have never received neuroimaging studies, or patients whose headache characteristics are atypical for cluster headaches, neuroimaging studies should be considered. Neuroimaging is also recommended for patients with cough headache, exertional headache and headache associated with sexual activity. Although the resolution of MRI is superior to CT, evidence is insufficient to make recommendation regarding the choice of MRI or CT for the evaluation of nonacute headache patient. Clinicians should make a judgment by themselves according to the patient's specific conditions.
