Another theory into the cause of ice-cream headaches isexplained by increased blood flow to the brain through the anteriorcerebral artery, which supplies oxygenated blood to most medialportions of the frontal lobes and superior medial parietal lobes.This increase in blood volume and resulting increase in size inthis artery is thought to bring on the pain associated with anice-cream headache.
