Abstract
A serologically proven case of parainfluenza viral infection was assoc iated with the onset and disappearance of cluster headache. The patien t had long-standing migraine that ceased during the cluster headache p eriod and recurred when the latter stopped. Possibly, the virus was ne urally transmitted to the trigeminal-autonomic system, creating an inf lammatory response that transiently precipitated cluster headache and obliterated migraine.
