Angiographically demonstrated arterial spasm in a case of benign sexual headache and benign exertional headache.

Benign headaches related to sexual activity and exertion are being recognised with increasing frequency. We wish to report a case of benign sexual headache (Type 2) and benign exertional headache, occurring sequentially in the same patient. Multiple areas of cerebral arterial spasm were demonstrable on angiography. This observation would support the concept that benign sexual headache (Type 2) and benign exertional headache may have a similar pathophysiology.

Glomus intravagale tumour: aspects of management.

Glomus intravagale tumours are relatively rare tumours. A case is described and some aspects of its management are discussed with emphasis on the pre-operative investigation and diagnosis of this condition. Selective embolization of the lesion before operation is an important adjunct in treatment to reduce the vascularity of the tumour during operation. Intra-operative cardiac arrest due to traction of the vagus nerve was encountered. The methods to avoid this complication are discussed.
