The frequency increases with increasing age and the etiologies range from tension to life-threatening infections and brain tumors. Migraine is the most frequent cause of acute and recurrent headaches in children. The overall prevalence of non-migraine headaches is 10-25%. A thorough history, physical and neurological examination, and appropriate diagnostic testing (if indicated) will enable the physician to distinguish migraine and tension headaches from those of a secondary etiology. In this review, we present an updated overview of childhood headaches. The recently developed International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition (ICHD-II) will be summarized. The Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the Practice Committee of Child Neurology Society (CNS) recommendations for neuroimaging of children with recurrent headaches concluded that routine neuroimaging is not indicated if the neurological examination is normal. Neuroimaging should be considered in children with recent onset of severe headache, change in the headache type, associated focal neurological features, or seizures. Trends in the management guidelines will be highlighted.  ISSN : 0749-8063  Journal Name : Saudi Medical Journal  Volume : 9  Issue Number : 28  Publishing Year : 2007 AH 2007 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, March 13, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان jan, Mohammed Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  25897.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
