DURAL HEADACHE AND INNERVATION OF THE DURA MATER

PENFIELD, WILDER·1940·Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry

Abstract

The only adjective which Celsus applied to headache was "intolerabilis." Unless it was intolerable, he said, there was no necessity for a remedy (Vaughan, 18251). Today the same proviso might be applied, at least to surgical remedies. But when the ache is intolerable, radical operative treatment should be undertaken. Knowledge of the innervation and sensitivity of intracranial structures is prerequisite to success with such treatment. This study is concerned primarily with the nerve supply and pain reference of the dura mater in man and in the monkey. It is illustrated by clinical cases which cast light on dural sensitivity and on the radical treatment of falcial cicatrix, migraine and other forms of headache. A preliminary anatomic study has already been published by one of us (F. M.).2 STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CEREBRAL DURA MATER The cerebral dura is a very tough membrane composed of two closely adherent

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
