Cefalea troclear primaria. Un dolor periorbitario con diagnóstico y tratamiento específicos

Abstract

Primary trochlear headache is a little-known cause of periorbital headache described in adults. It can involve very disabling pain. In addition, it can be associated with other types of headaches, making them even more difficult to identify. To diagnose this pathology, it is necessary that the examination of the trochlea be incorporated into the usual clinical practice of the patient with headache, which will allow the establishment of an adequate treatment.The case is presented of an adolescent patient with a diagnosis of migraine, who was admitted with a disabling headache secondary to a primary trochlear headache.
