Cluster headache (CH) is a neurovascular, primary headache disorder. There are, however, several case reports about patients whose CH started shortly after a structural brain disease or trauma. Motivated by a patient who developed CH 3 weeks after the removal of an eye and by similar case reports, we tested the hypothesis that the removal of an eye is a risk factor for CH.
A detailed headache questionnaire was filled out by 112 patients on average 8 years after enucleation or evisceration of an eye.
While 21 % of these patients experienced previously unknown headaches after the removal of an eye, no patient fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for CH.
Our data does not suggest that the removal of an eye is a major risk factor for the development of CH.
丛集性头痛（CH）是一种神经血管性原发性头痛疾病。然而，有几例关于丛集性头痛在脑部结构性疾病或创伤后不久发病的病例报告。受一名患者在摘除眼球3周后出现丛集性头痛以及类似病例报告的启发，我们检验了眼球摘除是丛集性头痛的一个危险因素这一假设。
112名患者在眼球摘除或眼内容剜出术后平均8年填写了一份详细的头痛问卷。
虽然这些患者中有21%在眼球摘除后出现了此前未知的头痛，但没有患者符合丛集性头痛的诊断标准。
我们的数据并不表明眼球摘除是丛集性头痛发生的主要危险因素。
