Non‐Migrainous Headache and Transient Neurological Deficits

SYNOPSIS Two young patients experienced transient and recurrent neurological deficits, associated with headache, without fever, signs of meningeal irritation or systemic disease. This situation in a young patient is usually a manifestation of migraine, but none of our patients had a history f vascular headache. Lumbar puncture was performed, and CSF pleocytosis found in both cases. These cases may represent a poorly recognized benign syndrome of transient neurological signs of headache and a sterile inflammatory reaction in the CSF.
