Immortalized by science and friendship

EDITORIAL

t is now almost 35 years since the Brazilian Headache Society was founded

(1978) and naturally several of its founders have passed away. Among these we

should remember in particular Edgard Raffaelli Júnior, Wilson Farias da Silva and

José Martônio Ferreira de Almeida, who are all deeply missed. Some depart

prematurely, as in the recent case of Marco Antonio Minchola Robles. All of them

became immortalized during our congresses, and we always remember them for

their outstanding contributions to our specialty and fondly recall the festive moments

shared with them between the formal sessions.

In this issue of Headache Medicine you will find the program of our XXVI

Brazilian Headache Congress, which we are sure will be of great interest to all of

you. In addition, you will be able to read the abstracts on the most recent

developments in the field of Headache Medicine from different centers in Brazil.
