Abstract

We report a case of secondary hypnic headache in a patient with a haemangioblastoma of the cerebellum. The number of secondary cases is steadily increasing in the medical literature and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain should be considered mandatory after arriving at a presumptive diagnosis.
