Cluster headache is part of a group of primary headache disorders defined by the International Headache Society as trigeminal autonomic headaches. It is a rare clinical condition that can be confused with other primary headaches such as paroxysmal hemicrania, SUNCT and trigeminal neuralgia. There are many diseases and intracranial lesions that may mimic cluster headache, within these symptomatic causes, neuro-ophthalmic disorders should be part of the differential diagnosis of all patients with cluster like headache. We report the case of a patient with cluster like headache and Charles Bonnet syndrome associated with intermittent angle-closure glaucoma.
