Abstract:
The incidence of headache following childbirth in 226 Nigerian women is 24.3% (n=55) or one in four births. Headache was more prevalent among women aged between 21 and 30 years (n=44); those of social class 3-5 (n=50); and also increased incidence with increasing parity, although these relationships did not reach significance. There is a highly significant association between the incidence of postparturition headache and evidence of stress (P=0.004), but not with a history of migraine (p=0.102). A highly significant association also exists between the incidence of postparturition headache and anaemia (Hb value less than 10 g/dl (68%), (p=0.004). Headache started on the day of delivery in the majority of cases (36.4%; n=20) although the median number of days of onset after delivery was 2 days. Post-natal headache may be associated with some underlying sociomedical factors which may be influenced by the fall in pregnancy hormones following parturition.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
