Headache is one of the cardinal features of intracranial neoplasm. However, there is little published information on the prevalence and clinical profiles of headache in patients with brain tumor. This cross-sectional study recruited 171 cases of brain tumor. The average age was 39 years (range from
Headaches causing early morning waking, or headaches which are more prominent on waking, always raise the suspicion of raised intracranial pressure, and hence the need for prompt evaluation to exclude the diagnosis of a brain tumour (particularly if they are associated with vomiting and
We review the current state of knowledge regarding headache and brain tumors. The epidemiology of this clinically relevant area is highlighted along with general clinical features of headache disorders seen in brain tumor patients. Some rarer clinical presentations are noted, particularly in
BACKGROUND
Headaches occur commonly in all patients, including those who have brain tumors. Using the search terms "headache and brain tumors," "intracranial neoplasms and headache," "facial pain and brain tumors," "brain neoplasms/pathology," and "headache/etiology," we reviewed the literature from
METHODS
The possible association of brain tumour with headache was investigated in 100 patients seen for brain surgery. Preoperatively, 43 patients suffered from headache. These patients were thoroughly questioned about the nature of their pain. Investigation included the McGill Pain
To study the criteria for early differential diagnosis between migraine and headache due to brain tumors, we analyzed the symptoms and signs of two groups of children. The first group consisted of 67 children in whom a brain tumor had been diagnosed. The second group was composed of 600 children who
This article overviews headache and brain tumors, particularly from the diagnostic point of view of patients presenting with headache as their major symptom. Common and uncommon brain tumors can produce headache and investigation is warranted if any red flags are present. An overview of particular
Headache can be either a late or early symptom of a brain tumour, depending on the location of the tumour. A constant, progressively increasing pain, or a change in the character of headache pain, may alert the physician to this occurrence. Fortunately most people with headache, even persistent or
We analyzed the history, physical examination findings, and skull roentgenograms of 72 children with headaches secondary to brain tumors to determine distinguishing features. Of 56 children, skull roentgenograms were abnormal in 54% (30). Abnormal findings from either the neurologic or ocular
BACKGROUND
While headache is a common symptom among brain tumors patients, often patients with common headache have concerns of being at risk for developing brain tumors. We aimed to disprove that migraine or headache in general is associated with increased risk of developing brain
To determine the incidence, timing, and characteristics of headaches in a population of off-therapy pediatric brain tumor patients, a retrospective chart review was conducted on 3 subpopulations of children followed in a multidisciplinary neuro-oncology clinic in the Southeastern United States. Data
Headache is the most frequent initial as well as the principle symptom of brain tumours. In 25 patients with brain tumours, in whom the initial symptom was headache, a further symptom of cerebral origin did not appear until after an interval of 40 months on average (median 11.5 months, 95%
Neuroimaging for headaches is both common and costly. While the costs are well quantified, little is known about the benefit in terms of diagnosing pathology. Our objective was to determine the role of early neuroimaging in the identification of malignant brain tumors in individuals OBJECTIVE
To assess the clinical and economic consequences of 3 diagnostic strategies-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography followed by MRI for positive results (CT-MRI), and no neuroimaging with close clinical follow-up-in the evaluation of children with headache suspected of having
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether severe recurrent headache is a risk factor for neurovascular events in children who received radiation for brain tumors.
METHODS
This is a retrospective cohort study of children with brain tumors who received cranial irradiation at a large tertiary care center, aged
