(n.) A pain that affects only one side of the head.
Example Sentences:
(1) The clinical characteristics of headaches were those described in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania.
(2) 21 patients showed certain changes in the clinical picture and course of hemicrania itself: enhancement of paroxysms or transformation of one form of hemicrania to the other one, more severe (e.g.
(3) The results obtained with this method on 28 different patients, six of with were normal subjects, while the remaining 22 were suffering: six from cerebro vascular disease, four from epilepsy, three from TIA, six from dementia, two from depressive syndrome and one from hemicrania are reported.
(4) Five patients had hemicranias, and all were homolateral to the endarterectomy.
(5) This variety of headache, not previously reported, was quite similar to the "hemicrania continua" except for its localization.
(6) Cluster headache and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania are assumed to be so closely related that they from a classification point of view have been grouped together under the superstructure: cluster headache syndrome.
(7) Both episodic and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania respond well to treatment with indomethacin.
(8) The finding of a female preponderance, like that in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, is a new observation.
(9) Paroxysmal headaches often occur in benign headache disorders such as episodic cluster headache, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) and episodic paroxysmal hemicrania.
(10) Episodic paroxysmal hemicrania (EPH) is a rare disorder characterized by discrete bouts of hemicranial headache separated by headache-free remissions.
(11) It seems unlikely that a time pattern that has remained unchanged for 17 years will become continuous, as in HC, in the future, and thus it is possible that our patient represents a case of a new type of headache that we propose to name "Hemicrania Episodica."
(12) The autonomic involvement from a clinical point of view, was clearly less pronounced than that of other unilateral headaches, such as cluster headache and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania.
(13) Problems related to the need of certification of ability to work for those affected by cervical hemicrania have been analysed.
(14) Hemicrania continua (HC) is a headache entity completely responsive to indomethacin.
(15) Superimposition of essential hypertension or atherosclerosis was also coupled with changes in the course of hemicrania, in particular by an increase of the period of cephalgia and appearance of constant headaches.
(16) The pre-continuous phase of hemicrania continua may thus masquerade as episodic cluster headache by reason of its intermittency and "clustering".
(17) This conclusion has precluded the possibility of paroxysmal hemicrania having an episodic counterpart.
(18) Facial temperature was measured thermographically and pupillary diameter recorded photographically during and between episodes of headache and during spontaneous remission of headache in a patient with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH).
(19) The remitting form of HC must be distinguished from other cyclical headache disorders such as episodic paroxysmal hemicrania and episodic cluster headache.
(20) Four cases clinically compatible with "Hemicrania Continua" are described.
Megrim
Definition:
(n.) A kind of sick or nevrous headache, usually periodical and confined to one side of the head.
(n.) A fancy; a whim; a freak; a humor; esp., in the plural, lowness of spirits.

(n.) The British smooth sole, or scaldfish (Psetta arnoglossa).
Example Sentences:
(1) The results show that added neutral and oxidized lipids, even at high rancidity levels, do not affect shear resistances measured by the Kramer shear-compression cell in non-formaldehyde forming species such as megrim and sardine, over the frozen storage period.
(2) The effect of added cod liver oil and oxidized cod liver oil on the measurement of texture in minced hake (Merluccius merluccius L.), megrim (Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis W.) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus W.) has been measured during frozen storage (-18 degrees C).
