It is characterized by the presence of a headache, usually hemicranial, although it can also be bilateral, which uses the territory of the trigeminal nerve, especially its first branch, and causes periocular pain that is often accompanied by trigemino-autonomic symptoms, such as redness, tearing, drooping of the eyelid, among others.
