Tornwaldt's cyst (sometimes called Thornwaldt's cyst) is a rare cause of occipital headache. Owing to the rare occurrence of occipital headache as a symptom of Tornwaldt's cyst, if the patient presented only with occipital headache, this clinical symptom may be falsely perceived as a sign of neurologic disease leading to time-consuming diagnostic examinations that delay the establishment of a correct diagnosis.
托恩瓦尔特囊肿(有时称为索恩瓦尔特囊肿)是枕部头痛的罕见病因。由于枕部头痛作为托恩瓦尔特囊肿的症状较为罕见,如果患者仅表现为枕部头痛,这种临床症状可能会被错误地视为神经系统疾病的体征,从而导致耗时的诊断检查,延误正确诊断的确立。
