Abstract

Headache in patients with connective tissue dysplasia (CTD) is an urgent problem of modern medicine. The article discusses different types of headache in patients with connective tissue dysplasia. The most well studied are differentiated forms of connective tissue dysplasia (Ehlers — Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, etc.) and, accordingly, variants of cephalgia in them are described. A significant problem is the dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries, which are variants of acute cerebrovascular accident. The interrelation of primary and secondary headaches with CTD syndrome is shown. The variety of clinical manifestations of headaches and connective tissue dysplasia in the same patient makes it difficult to diagnose, which can contribute to the chronicity of cephalalgia, the appointment of inadequate therapy and the development of complications. Further study of headache options in patients with CTD will improve the provision of medical care to this category of patients.
