Abstract:
Cold-stimulus headache is a primary headache syndrome which is provoked by an external application
or ingestion or inhalation of cold stimulus. It has not been reported to occur secondary to another
focal structural brain lesion, or as a reversible illness. This is a report of two women who developed
cold-stimulus headache on taking ice cold food after the onset of thalamic hemorrhage. The headache
was typical of cold-stimulus headache except a relatively long duration of pain lasting half an hour.
There was spontaneous remission after a few months. Our patients suggest that cold-stimulus headache
can be secondary to thalamic hemorrhage..
