Abstract
in English, Hungarian

SUNCT syndrome, a rare form of primary headaches, may be secondary to pituitary tumours. The secondary forms usually related with prolactinomas. The response of dopamin agonists could be variable. In this study, we reported a case of SUNCT syndrome secondary to prolactinoma. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging was performed for this patient because of the increase in pain severity and frequency. A hemorrhage was detected into the prolactinoma ipsilateral to the pain. The headache attacks were taken undercontrol and remission was ensured with cabergoline in a short time.

A SUNCT szindróma, a primer fejfájások egy ritka formája, hypophysistumor következtében másodlagosan is kialakulhat. A másodlagos forma általában prolactinoma következménye. A dopaminagonista válasz különböző lehet. Az esettanulmány prolactinoma következtében másodlagosan kialakuló SUNCT szindrómát ismertet. A fájdalom súlyossága és gyakorisága miatt a betegnél cranialis mágneses-rezonancia-vizsgálatot végeztünk, ami a prolactinoma bevérzését mutatta ki a fájdalommal azonos oldalon. Cabergolin alkalmazásával rövid időn belül kontrolláltuk a fájdalmat, és remissziót értünk el.
