Headache in children
Headache is a frequent complaint that occurs in most children. Headache may be primary (e. g. migraine, tense headache, cluster headache) or may develop secondarily during the course of systemic disorders or in connection with primary neurological conditions. From a practical point of view it is advantageous to distinguish acute, recurrent and chronic headaches. The present paper recalls the most frequent causes of headache with special emphasis to primary headache.
