Abstract

We report on a 31-year-old right-handed woman with a medical history of presyncopal episodes and migraine headaches who presented to the outpatient clinic with a nummular headache after intracerebral stenting, which was different than her previous migraines. This represents postpipeline embolization headache phenomenon, which is a relatively new term to describe a new or different headache in individuals who recently underwent intracranial vascular stenting as a treatment for cerebral aneurysms.
