Drug-resistant epicrania fugax: Responding to onabotulinumtoxinA.

Epicrania fugax (EF) is a primary headache consisting of brief paroxysms of pain, lasting 1-10 s, that move through different nerve territories of one hemicranium with a linear or zigzag trajectory, although there are some clinical variants. Preventive therapy with anti-seizure medication such as gabapentin and lamotrigine are most commonly used in patients presenting with frequent and non-remitting attacks. In some cases, greater occipital nerve blockades are used for short- or long-term relief.
