Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Headache is a critical problem in the emergency department (ED). The main aim for the ED doctor is to distinguish primary forms of headache from secondary forms. In this paper we will briefly review epidemiological data regarding headache in ED, consider the role of diagnostic alarms and "warning symptoms" in differential diagnosis and describe some "dangerous headaches".
