SYNOPSIS A 25‐year‐old man, subject to bouts of left supraorbital cluster headache on an annual basis over the previous 8 years, volunteered for MRI angiography during an active period. Studies were conducted before and during a typical cluster headache attack induced by alcohol. MRI angiography failed to show dilatation of the ophthalmic artery on either the symptomatic side, or the non‐symptomatic side during headache, nor was there observed any dilatation of the anterior cerebral arteries on either side.
