A possible exception is the “unique” case described by Oppenheim, where each attack of headache “was preceded by typical cerebellar symptoms... at the same time there existed the sensation that his body or individual parts thereof were doubled in size...” For the purpose of brevity I have selected the following 7 typical case histories from my large collection of similar histories.
