Also \"calvarial headache\". Klopfschmerz is a typo and should be Kopfschmerz. Kalotten- means calvarial.

The calvarial bones are the upper skull bones. One of my dictionaries gives the translation \"roof of the skull\" for Kalotte.

Ok, if Klopfschmerz is no typo then you\'ve got to add \"on ercussion\", e.g. \"Calvarial pain on percussion\" or \"calvarial region is sensitive on percussion\".

no throbbing calvarial pain


Explanation:
would be my version. I don't think that a typo is involved here. Throbbiing or klopfend is a description of the pain.
