A Review of Episodic and Chronic Pediatric Headaches of Brief Duration

A Review of Episodic and Chronic Pediatric Headaches of Brief Duration
Pediatric Neurology

Headaches that last less than one hour in duration are uncommon, except for atypical migraine, and, without a practitioner's appropriate knowledge, may result in misdiagnosis. Although most of these headaches are classified as primary headache syndromes, some have secondary etiologies such as structural lesions. This pediatric-specific review updates these headache syndromes. Discussed are atypical migraine, the trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TAC), cranial neuralgias, occipital neuralgia, thunderclap headache, nummular headache, the red ear syndrome and the numbtongue syndrome.
