A10.8.2 Headache attributed to other metabolic or systemic disorderHartmut Gobel2018-01-31T16:26:20+00:00
Headaches attributed to the following disorders may occur, but are not sufficiently validated:
anaemia, adrenocortical insufficiency, mineralocorticoid deficiency, hyperaldosteronism, polycythaemia, hyperviscosity syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura, plasmapheresis, anticardiolipin antibody syndrome, Cushing’s disease, hyponatraemia, hyperthyroidism, hyperglycaemia, hypercalcaemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia.
Well-controlled, prospective studies are needed to define more clearly the incidence and characteristics of headaches that occur in association with these disorders. In each case, only those patients who meet well-established diagnostic criteria for the disorders themselves should be evaluated.
