This session describes the presentation and investigation of patients with a headache that has an underlying pathological cause.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Differentiate between common types of secondary headache
  • Identify possible causes for secondary headache
  • Describe red flag signs for secondary headache
  • Describe the investigations that are appropriate for secondary headache

Although migraine is the most commonly diagnosed headache, healthcare workers need to know what questions to ask to elicit the necessary information to differentiate between all the possible causes of headache, so that they can provide the appropriate investigations and treatment.
