Headache induced by dopamine agonists prescribed for prolactinoma: think SUNCT!

Abstract
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome may be associated with pituitary prolactinoma and may be induced by treatment of prolactinoma with dopamine agonists. Endocrinologists treating patients with prolactinoma need to be aware of this syndrome as its pathophysiology and treatment differ from that of other headache syndromes.
