Abstract:
We report on headache induced by a somatostatin octapeptide analog (octreotide) used for the treatment of acromegaly. This "rebound" headache has severe tension-type characteristics and occurs every 6-8 h. It resolves dramatically within minutes with octreotide administration. This is the first report of headache developing under treatment with octreotide.
