A vascular headache is an outdated term to describe certain types of headache which were thought to be related to blood vessel swelling and hyperemia as cause of pain.
[citation needed] There is no doubt that some headaches are caused by vascular effects.
However, it is no longer a recognized term and not mentioned in the Headache classification of the International Headache society (IHS),[1] although it is still used by some physicians and still mentioned in some medical classification systems.
Headaches that were described as being vascular headaches include:[citation needed] Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease
