Thus Aretaeus describes it, under the name of Heterocrania: And in certain cases the whole head is pained, and the pain is sometimes on the right, and sometimes on the left side, or the forehead, or the fontanelle; and such attacks shift their place during the same day ... This is called Heterocrania, an illness by no means mild ... It occasions unseemly and dreadful symptoms ... nausea; vomiting of bilious matters; collapse of the patient ... there is much torpor, heaviness of the head, anxiety; and life becomes a burden. For they flee the light; the darkness soothes their disease; nor can they bear readily to look upon or hear anything pleasant ... The patients are weary of life and wish to die.
