Abstract

Deciding whether a child's headache is functional or organic is difficult for even the experienced physician. This review examines the diagnosis and management of headache syndromes in children and adolescents. A systematic history and examination together with selected laboratory data will enable the practitioner to establish the correct diagnosis.
