A headache or pain that affects both sides of the head simultaneously.
From Greek 'amphi-' (both) + 'kranion' (skull). Medical terminology combining classical roots to describe bilateral cranial symptoms.
Most headaches we experience are actually amphicrania—they're bilateral even though we often notice one side more, which is why neurologists ask exactly where pain is located when diagnosing migraines.
