Abstract
- We present a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis accompanied by chronic daily headache which was relieved by levothyroxine therapy. A 12-year-old girl was referred to our hospital complaining of continuous, bilateral, and non-pulsatile headache which had begun 9 months before. After 2 weeks of appropriate levothyroxine therapy, headache markedly improved. After 4 months of follow-up, she had no new episode of headache.
