Differentiating Cluster Headache from other Diseases
Differential of cluster headache usually involves syndromes that manifest as unilateral headache, brief but frequent attacks. Such syndromes include the following:[1]
- Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) is a condition similar to cluster headache, but CPH responds well to treatment with the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin. With CPH, the attacks are much shorter, often lasting only seconds.[2]
- Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks (SUNCT and SUNA)
- Trigeminal neuralgia[3]
- Primary stabbing headache
- Headache associated with an underlying intracranial lesion[4]
- Intracranial large artery aneurysms
- Meningiomas
- Brain arteriovenous malformations
- Pituitary macroadenomas
- Recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma
- Metallic foreign body in the maxillary sinus
- Aspergilloma in sphenoid sinus
- Benign posterior fossa tumor
- Cavernous hemangioma
