| Abstrakt: | Cluster headaches are the most common of the primary headache type known as trigeminal autonomic cephalgia. They are relatively rare, plaguing 0.1% of the population, making a study of the disease process difficult at best. They have earned consideration as one of if not the most severe type of headache, and so, despite their rarity, recognition and treatment are vital. There is some degree of genetic correspondence, as first-degree family members are 18 times more likely to be diagnosed with cluster headaches. However, the mode of inheritance is unclear. Some families seem to pass the symptoms along with an autosomal recessive pattern, while others seem to be autosomal dominant. The definition of cluster headaches is a unilateral headache with at least one autonomic symptom ipsilateral to the headache. These headaches occur between every other day up to eight times a day. They usually occur at approximately the same time of day, most often at night. Most patients are episodic, with daily attacks for weeks to months, followed by a remission for months to years.[1][2][3] (Copyright © 2022, StatPearls Publishing LLC.) |
