Abstract:
Though thyroid growths are considered to be a frequent cause of H orner's syndrome, concurrent headache attacks are not commonly seen. Case A 63‐year‐old woman presented with severe, daily occurring, unilateral headache attacks with ipsilateral H orner's syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging arteriography showed a multinodular goiter displacing the left common carotid artery. Conclusion This case exemplifies the combination of headache attacks and H orner's syndrome due to mechanical pressure of an enlarged thyroid, mimicking the symptoms both of carotid dissection as well as trigeminal autonomic cephalgias like paroxysmal hemicrania.
