Benign cough headache (BCH) presents as an intermittent, usually bilateral, severe bursting or explosive pain brought on by coughing. Some of the known conditions which can mimic the pain experienced in BCH are subarachnoid hemorrhage, increased intracranial pressure, intracranial tumors, and even toothache. Careful evaluation must be carried out in order to differentiate between these conditions. A case of BCH which presented as a toothache is reported. The evaluation for exertional headaches, and for headaches brought on by coughing, is discussed.

Benign cough headache presents as a sudden bilateral, short-lasting pain precipitated by coughing. The diagnosis requires noninvasive brain-imaging so that secondary causes can be ruled out. We describe a man, 57 years of age, complaining of an atypical form of benign cough headache which shares some features with episodic cluster headache. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a link between these two types of idiopathic headache.

Benign cough headache is an uncommon primary headache disorder marked by short-lasting attacks of pain triggered by coughing. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain is required to assure that the cough headache is truly benign. The aetiology of the pain is unclear, but is probably associated with the brief increased intracranial pressure that attends coughing. We have reviewed the clinical features, aetiology, differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis of benign cough headache.
