Chronic use of ergotamine derivatives has been well described in the literature to cause retroperitoneal, pleural, pericardial and valvular fibrosis. While acute migraine treatment advances have resulted in a reduction of ergotamine derivatives prescribing, they are still considered appropriate for some patients. We report a case of diffuse pachymeningitis with symptomatic right sixth cranial nerve palsy who had a history of long-term Cafergot© suppository use. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to temporally associate ergotamine derivatives with pachymeningitis.
长期使用麦角胺衍生物会导致腹膜后、胸膜、心包和瓣膜纤维化,这在文献中已有充分描述。虽然急性偏头痛治疗的进展已使麦角胺衍生物的处方量有所减少,但它们仍被认为适用于某些患者。我们报告了一例弥漫性硬脑膜炎伴右侧第六颅神经麻痹症状的病例,该患者有长期使用卡非麦角(Cafergot©)栓剂的病史。据我们所知,这是第一例在时间上关联麦角胺衍生物与硬脑膜炎的病例。
