JIMENEZ JARAMILLO, Juan Diego; RAMIREZ, Sergio y AYALA-CASTILLO, Miguel. Patient with post traumatic headache in the emergency department. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.4, suppl.1, pp.38-42. Epub 14-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0120-8748. https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022316.
Traumatic brain injury is frequently accompanied by headache, the prevalence is variable from 30-90 %. Posttraumatic headache represents a highly disabling condition, could be more related to mild injury, and is classified as acute or persistent headache. The clinical characteristics are similar to migraine-type headache and tension-type headache, with some differential details. Different pathophysiological mechanisms have been involved, this could explain the different phenotypes. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and specific criteria. Below we present a clinical case of post-traumatic headache managed in the emergency department with which we seek to delve into the clinical and therapeutic aspects of this disease.
