Abstract

This chapter is divided into three sections on pediatric headache diagnosis: Childhood Periodic Syndromes (considered by some to be migraine precursors), Tension-Type Headache, and Pediatric Daily Headache. The Childhood Periodic Syndromes covered include Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (CVS), Abdominal Migraine (AM), and Benign Paroxysmal Vertigo of Childhood (BPVC) as migraine precursors. More recently, Benign Paroxysmal Torticollis (BPT) has been recognized as a precursor of migraine, and, in particular, to Basilar-Type Migraine (BTM) and is also included. Secondary causes are discussed as well as key diagnostic criteria. A section deals with diagnosis of pediatric tension-type headaches. The chapter also includes several parts on pediatric chronic daily headache syndromes, including chronic tension-type headache, chronic migraine, new daily persistent headache, and pediatric medication overuse headache. The chapter concludes with a discussion of more rare pediatric headache syndromes such as pediatric trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias.
