One : One possible cause could be trigeminal neuralgia. However with her history of intracerebral hemorrhage, i agree with you and should advise her to follow up with her neurologist. Hope this helps.

Not the brain: It can't be in her brain. The brain is insensitive to pain and all other tactile sensations. Any pain is perceived in the body part that maps to that part of the brain. That includes the head. It sounds most like a neuralgia affecting one or more cranial nerves, most commonly the trigeminal (CN V). For this, there is NO SUBSTITUTE for seeing a doctor and getting a professional diagnosis.
