This review examines the diagnostic evaluation and naming conventions for thunderclap headache. It proposes a framework for diagnosing and managing patients experiencing this severe headache type.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Thunderclap headache presents a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse etiologies.
  • Debate exists regarding optimal nomenclature and diagnostic workup for thunderclap headache.
  • Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial to rule out life-threatening conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the background of the nomenclature debate for thunderclap headache.
  • To outline the most appropriate diagnostic evaluation for patients with thunderclap headache.
  • To propose a nosological framework and diagnostic approach.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on thunderclap headache.
  • Analysis of clinical profiles and differential diagnoses.
