  • Title: [SUNCT-type headache and Rathke's cleft cyst: a controversial relation].
    Author: Ortega-Valin F, Caminero A.
    Journal: Rev Neurol; ; 50(2):84-8. PubMed ID: 20112216.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: SUNCT is a primary headache, although in a small percentage of cases it is associated with intracranial lesions, generally in the pituitary area or in the posterior fossa. CASE REPORT: A 69 years-old woman with SUNCT whose magnetic resonance imaging showed chronic bleeding in a Rathke's cleft cyst. This is the first case report of this association. CONCLUSIONS: We discuss the relation between the two conditions and the utility and risks of surgery to control refractory headache.
