Efficacy of oxygen inhalation in sumatriptan refractory “high altitude” cluster headache attacks

We describe the case of a 40-year-old woman, affected by episodic cluster headache, who presented with a cluster headache triggered by exposure to high altitude. Her attacks were refractory to sumatriptan, very effective at sea level, but responded to oxygen. A pathophysiological mechanism is propos...
