A case of MELAS syndrome with typical cluster headache attacks: is it a causel or coincidental association?

2002-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Many findings relate migraine and cluster headaches to a genetic alteration, even if the site of the defect has not been identified. Some of these findings indicate an involvement of mitochondrial DNA, although some contrasting results have been reported. We describe a case of cluster headache occuring in a patient with MELAS syndrome. The diagnosis of MELAS was supported by the familiar anamnesis (the mother suff...
