A five year old boy living here is being treated for headaches that occur when he laughs.
The boy first presented at the outpatient department at Mayo University Hospital “with a one year history of headaches associated with laughter”.
In a new paper in the current July-August edition of the Irish Medical Journal (IMJ), the authors state that they believe that it is the first ever published paediatric case report of laughter as a precipitating factor for headaches.
