Abstract
Cluster headache and its associated signs and symptoms have been descr ibed in medical literature for years. The etiology of this condition r emains unresolved. We describe a unique patient who presented with a c luster headache syndrome concurrent with new-onset pseudoaneurysm with in the cavernous sinus. Our review and analysis of this patient confir ms current theories which describe the role of the cavernous sinus as a locus of pathology in cluster headache.
