Abstract

Secondary cluster-like headache has been reported in association with various underlying diseases. A 20-year-old man came with right-sided headache that started 1 month ago. Initially, his headache was compatible with diagnostic criteria of episodic cluster headache. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple enhancement lesions in right frontal bone and periorbital area. With bone marrow biopsy, we confirmed that B-lymphoblastic leukemia relapsed. We describe an unusual case with cluster-like headache caused by acute lymphocytic leukemia infiltration of periorbital tissue.
