ABSTRACT

Cluster headache is a debilitating primary headache disorder marked by severe, unilateral pain often accompanied by autonomic symptoms. We describe the case of a 20-year-old student who presented with excruciating peri-orbital pain localized to the right side, accompanied by ipsilateral nasal obstruction, a nasal spur, and a deviated nasal septum (DNS). The initial clinical picture strongly suggested sinonasal pathology, leading to investigations and treatments aimed at this presumed diagnosis. However, as the patient's symptoms persisted and evolved over time, with episodes of recurrent and intense pain associated with ipsilateral tearing, rhinorrhea, and ptosis, further evaluation was pursued. A comprehensive assessment, including detailed headache characteristics, neurological examination, and neuroimaging, ultimately revealed the diagnosis of cluster headache. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenges associated with atypical presentations of cluster headaches, the importance of a meticulous clinical evaluation, and the need for early recognition to provide timely and effective interventions for these severely affected individuals.

ABSTRACT

Despite primary advancements in medication, cancer continues to be one of the main reasons for death globally. Techniques for immunotherapy against malignant improvement are rising as fantastic treatments for this setback. The rapid development of modern immunotherapeutics has inspired a decrease in stubborn malignancies and led to an emotional improvement in patient endurance. However, a giant barrier to these ongoing treatment modalities is an anomaly in clinical response, specifically articulated amongst targeted spot inhibition, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, oncolytic infections, and recombinant cytokines emerging since sickness cells use a variety of structures to avert immunosurveillance. Other challenges encompass the lack of ability to predict the efficacy of the therapy and the response of the patient, the want for additional biomarkers, the improvement of immunity in opposition to malignant boom immunotherapies, the absence of medical assessment plans that are up-to-date to decide sufficiency, and high therapy costs. The therapy for middle-stage malignant growth and the top five difficulties, setbacks, and drawbacks of immunotherapy are examined in this audit.
