Lead Section

The lead section gives a good, brief overview of the disorder and what is known about it at the time. It does bring up the uncertainty of some aspects and lack of information about the disorder but does mention classification of the disorder with respect to the International Classification of Headache Disorders.

Content

The content is lacking and could use some work. This could be due to the lack of reliable data and secondary articles published, but a new search of reliable sources should be made. Additional information in the Signs and Symptoms and Diagnosis sections could be added to help people who may be experiencing this disorder. Additionally, the Pathophysiology and History sections only include one sentence and may be expanded to give readers a better background of the disorder.

Sources and References

Many of the sources and references cited in the article are dated and are were published more than 10 years ago. If available, more updated references should be included and cited. Some sources are not easily accessible and require special access or purchase.

Organization and Writing Quality

More sections may be added to align with the Manual of Style for Medicine-related articles such as Causes, Prevention, and Treatment. As more data and information become available.

Talk Page Discussion

There is no discussion on the Talk page at this time.

Overall Impressions

Overall, the article seems to have put together what data was available on the topic at the time. However, I think another literature search can be done to update the information on this disorder to be able to better fill in sections of the article and give readers a better picture of the disorder. The article relies on a few case studies, given that there was little published on the topic, but a search for secondary sources may give the article more credibility and higher quality rating.
