Examines the value of performing computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies in children with chronic headaches. Retrospective chart review of all children referred to the pediatric neurology clinic for evaluation of headaches over a two-year period; Headache characteristics; ...
just more than 12% received an MRI or CT scan, according to the study which analyzed National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data for all headache visits for patients 18 and older between 2007 and 2010. The
Headaches are common in children and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are widely used in everyday clinical practice because of increasing demands by parents.

for example, with children who have apineal glandtumor deep within the brain.1Headaches, too, are common in both adults and children diagnosed with a brain tumor, but headaches are not the only symptom of a brain tumor.2
These headaches may cause pain all over or pain that's worse on one side of the head. The amount of time a brain tumor headache will last also varies from a few hours to a few days, but a consistent headache requires medical attention. So doesneck pain, which is more often associated...
assessed by using an X-ray procedure calledangiography. A definitive diagnosis usually requires removal of brain tissue for analysis; often this is done during tumour-removal surgery. In other cases, a needlebiopsyguided by the images generated by CT scans or MRI may be used to access the ...
13 The associations of migraine with these MRI-measured lesions and clinical ischemic stroke7,14 are consistent with the hypothesis that recurring migraine headaches may be associated with cerebral ischemia and that migraine-associated cerebral ischemia may be attack related. In the current study, we ...
