    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Geriatrics

    Background:

    • Headache is a common symptom in the elderly.
    • It can indicate serious underlying intracranial diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight critical conditions presenting as headaches in the elderly.
    • To emphasize the need for timely diagnosis and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common and critical causes of headache in geriatric patients.
    • Discussion of diagnostic and management challenges.

    Main Results:

    • Several conditions demand urgent neurosurgical attention: subarachnoid hemorrhage, pituitary apoplexy, subdural hematoma, and meningioma.
    • Cranial arteritis is a significant medical cause to consider.

    Conclusions:

    • Elderly patients presenting with headaches require thorough evaluation.
    • Age and comorbidities may complicate neurosurgical management, necessitating careful consideration of urgent conditions.
