Zusammenfassung: | Hemicrania continua (HC) is an uncommon, primary headache disorder characterized by a continuous, strictly unilateral headache of moderate intensity with superimposed exacerbations of more severe pain and accompanying autonomic features.

One patient described unusual olfactory sensation during episodes of exacerbation, which we classify as an olfactory aura. |
