[Analysis of clinical and electroencephalographic findings in common vasomotor headache]

The authors analysed the clinical pattern of manifestations and electroencephalographic findings in 120 patients with vasomotor headache, who were attending the Migraine Treatment Centre at the Department of Neurology, Medical Academy in Lódź. During 5 years of observation these patients accounted for 20% of all cases of idiopathic headaches treated in this Centre. It was observed that the clinical manifestations and electroencephalographic findings in vasomotor headaches were non-characteristic. The diagnosis of this headache must be reached after ruling out all other idiopathic and symptomatic headaches.
