Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalgias Due to Structural Lesions

A Review of 31 Cases

Irene Favier, MD; Jorine A. van Vliet, MD, PhD; Krista I. Roon, MD, PhD; Ron J. W. Witteveen, MD; Jan J. G. M. Verschuuren, MD, PhD; Michel D. Ferrari, MD, PhD; Joost Haan, MD, PhD

Arch Neurol. 2007;64(1):25-31.

Trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs) include cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicrania, and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing. Associated structural lesions may be found, but a causal relationship is often difficult to establish. We sought to identify clinical predictors of underlying structural abnormalities by reviewing previously described and new TAC and TAC-like cases associated with a structural lesion. We found that even typical TACs can be caused by an underlying lesion. Clinical warning signs and symptoms are relatively rare. We recommend neuroimaging in all patients with a TAC or TAC-like syndrome.
