Headache characteristics in acromegaly: Only a secondary disorder?
Secondary headache was found only in a small percentage of our patients. Most of them had a primary headache with a high prevalence of migraine, suggesting that acromegaly might act as a trigger for this disorder. Considering the potentially disabling nature, primary headaches in patients with acromegaly require careful evaluation and personalized management.
