The authors report a case of a 49-year-old man with long-standing, chronic cluster headache (CH) refractory to medical therapy and occipital nerve stimulation that resolved a few weeks prior to the diagnosis of glioblastoma involving primarily the right cingulate gyrus.

This report suggests that the cingulate gyri could be a potential target for neuromodulation in patients with medically refractory chronic CH.
