Abstract

Morel Stewart Morgagni syndrome or Internal Hyperostosis Frontal (HFI) is a metabolic craniopathy, most often asymptomatic, it can however be associated with a various manifestations including neuropsychiatric symptoms. We report the case of a 71-year-old patient with chronic tension-type headache seen in neurology consultation. The diagnosis was established based on the clinical and radiological criteria, and the patient benefitted symptomatic treatment and psychosocial support.
