Özet:

 


Objective:
Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) are a group of primary headache
syndromes. Although hemicrania continua (HC)is not included among the TACs
according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II),
it also shows autonomic symptoms. In the literature, some authors suggest that
TACs can be related with pituitary lesions. In this study, we have compared the
pituitary lesions observed in the TAC, HC and migraine-type headache patients


Methods
The cranial magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the
patients with TAC, HC and migraine without aura (MWOA) unaccompanied by
autonomic symptoms were retrospectively evaluated. The 33 TAC and HC patients
were compared with the 30 migraine without aura (MWOA) patients. 


Results:
The mean age of the TAC and HC patients was 43. 36±10. 72
years, whereas the mean age of the MWOA patients was 39.0±6.92 years. No
statistically significant difference in terms of age was observed between the
groups (p˃0.05). The MRI of the TACs and HC patients indicated that 62.5%
(n:20) were normal, while 12.5% (n:4) had pituitary microadenomas, 6.3 % (n:2)
had macroadenomas, 12.5% (n:4) had suspected pituitary microadenomas, and 6. 3%
(n:2) had suspected heterogeneity. The MRI results of the MWOA patients were normal
in 46.7% (n:14), whereas 23.3% (n:7) had pituitary microadenomas, 23.3% (n:7)
had suspected pituitary microadenomas, and 6. 2% (n:2) had suspected pituitary
heterogeneity. No statistically significant difference was observed between
both groups (p>0. 05).

Conclusion:
In this study, no correlation was observed between the TACs,
HC and pituitary abnormalities. In conclusion, the use of pituitary MRI has not
been supported as a routine method in patients with this type of headache
