Duration of headache

[cc_confused]

Hi Guys,

How long does the CC headache last? I get headache when I bend forward, headache is very sharp but it doesn't last long. Few seconds to couple of minutes. I strongly doubt of it is CC headache?

Thanks
James

Hi James:

The first couple of headaches that I remember lasted hours but later they would sometimes subside after a few minutes. The literature talks often of colloid cyst headaches as having a "positional" component of which I don't recall getting any relief from changing positions but here are a few quotes regarding such:

Headache secondary to colloid cyst may have postural component, usually worse with bending forward.

In any patient with short-lasting episodes of severe headache, provoked by changes in position, an MRI of the brain should be done to exclude a colloid cyst.

Did they say what dimensions your cyst was? Some centers prefer to operate on any cysts 1cm or larger.

Regards,
Matthew
