Brain freeze, or its given scientific name Spheno Palatine Gangleoneuralgia is a term used to describe a form of cranial pain or headache which people are known to sometimes experience after consuming cold beverages or foods such as ice cream, slurpees, or margaritas, particularly when consumed quickly.
In laymans terms, it is the result of the constriction of blood vessels in the stomach when put in contact with cold fluids. The (pain) that you feel in your head is actually not occuring in your head at all but is diverted from your stomach to a nerve in your head which usually recieves this particular pain. It's a process is similar to that of someone having pain in their left arm after having a heart attack."
