Abstract
Although headaches are a very common complaint, those accompanied by paresthesia and muscle wasting indicate an underlying neurological disorder. In this review, we present the case of a 58-year-old man with chronic headaches who developed tingling and numbness in his right limbs along with right-hand muscle atrophy.
