Cluster headache is generally not associated with recognised disease, and the pathogenesis remains unclear. The onset of typical cluster headaches is reported in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The tumor encircled the internal carotid artery but did not extend intracranially. It thus appears possible that cluster headaches may be triggered by processes involving the carotid artery.
丛集性头痛通常与已知疾病无关，其发病机制仍不清楚。有报告称一名鼻咽癌患者出现典型丛集性头痛发作。肿瘤包绕颈内动脉，但未向颅内扩展。因此，丛集性头痛似乎有可能由涉及颈动脉的过程触发。
