Abstract:
Headache is a common complaint in children and adolescents.While the majority of headaches are self-limited and benign,headaches occasionally herald a life-threatening illness such as meningitis,intracranial hemorrhage,brain tumor or hydrocephalus.The primary objective of the emergency department pediatrician is to diagnose and manage any acute life-threatening cause of headache.For the non-emergency headache,the goal is to relieve the pain and the associated symptoms.
