| Sommario/riassunto: | Headache as a common problem which has a significant impact on children's quality of life. This book provides practising clinicians with a comprehensive source of advice and knowledge on the diagnosis and management of childhood headache disorders. It addresses the needs of clinicians looking after children with headache, whether it was in a primary care setting, a hospital general paediatric clinic or in a specialist paediatric neurology service.Assessment of the child with chronic headache takes a central position, with two chapters to help early diagnosis of the child with a serious neurological disorder. The scientific basis of headache and migraine is clearly presented and simplified in the chapter of pathophysiology. Many clinical cases are presented to illustrate the complexity, the importance or the rarity of certain headache disorders and bring to life the relevant models of assessment and management. The book also highlights the results of recent research and provides critical analysis of commonly accepted classification of headache disorders and also provides pointers of future research needs. |
