摘要
The study of chronical headache in children, mainly migraine, has deserved special attention in the last years. The publications point out their epidemiological importance and are unanimous to affirm that the diagnosis made do not correspond to clinical reality. They emphasize that one of the difficulties that justify this diversity would be inadequate diagnosis criteria. This study analyses a group of pediatric patients complaining about headache and reaches results that support this impression.
