Abstract

Headache secondary to drug use are frequent and underdiagnosed in daily clinical practice. We report the case of a patient that developed headache related to sexual activity after the use of tadalafil. We discuss the semiologic aspects of the drug induced headache, headaches related with sexual activity, and finally the primary and secondary thunderclap headaches.
