The pathogenesis underlying cluster headache remains an unresolved issue. Although both the autonomic system and the hypothalamus play a central role, the modality of their involvement remains largely unknown.

This review summarizes the evidence to date accumulated in favor of a possible role of anomalies in the metabolism of tyrosine, tryptophan, and arginine in these unresolved issues.
