Secondary headache disorders were reviewed in Neurologic Clinics in 2004. Primary headache manifestations vary from the most mundane to among the most interesting in all of neurology. Migraine and tension-type headaches affect huge portions of the population, at times with significant impairment, with about 35 million persons yearly having attacks in the United States. Tension-type headaches have a lifetime prevalence of up to 78%. Neurologists may be particularly interested in migraine as over 50% of neurologists themselves are migraineurs. 收起
