  1. ME: meningeal enhancement; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; Severity of headache is graded as follows: 0 none, 1+ mild, 2+ moderate, 3+ severe. The MRI grading is as follows: 0 none, 1+ mild, 2+ moderate, 3+ high signal intensity in bilateral globus pallidus on T1 imaging. All of the 9 patients received only supportive treatment (acetaminophen and naproxen), lumbar puncture was done when clinically indicated.
