Abstract:
In general practice, headache presents as a problem with many causes and is seen from a different perspective than in specialist practice. Common headaches include tension, cervical dysfunction and 'mixed' headache. Consideration of the diurnal patterns in the history is a key to diagnosis. Causes such as cerebrovascular accidents, space occupying lesions, temporal arteritis and meningitis must not be missed.
