Constant headache

Why the constant headache?
  • It doesn't seem to be caused by prolactinemia, because Pat has constant headache that does not seem correlated to her prolactin level... although her PRL level never drops below about 30.
  • It doesn't seem to be caused by the Cabergoline treatment, because when Pat's CAB treatment has been discontinued for a month or two at a time the headache persists.
  • Can headache result from distortion of the diaphragma sellae caused by intracranial pressure in patients with secondary empty sella syndrome?
