SUNCT syndrome in a patient with prolactinoma and cabergoline-induced attacks.
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjuntival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome is a rare trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia. We report a patient with prolactinoma and cabergoline-induced SUNCT attacks and the literature is reviewed for a better understanding of the pathophysiology.
