Abstract
In our later correspondence in Cephalalgia 2014; 34(2):
‘Finally (as regards the “terminology”), we strongly believe that the word “epileptic” is crucial, as we have stressed many times in several previous articles (Parisi et al. (3–5) and their references), because an “ictal headache” could be of vascular origin, and, in this sense, the term “pure ictal headache” proposed by Cianchetti et al. does not necessarily mean that is of “epileptic” origin.’
In this statement we incorrectly attributed the terms ‘ictal headache’ and ‘pure ictal headache’ to Cianchetti et al. Cianchetti et al. did not use or propose these terms. They proposed ‘epileptic headache’ and ‘pure epileptic headache’. We apologise for this error.
